Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric conversion

When the Yahoo group was migrated over to Groups.io, everything - or almost everything - went over there, with the exception of maybe 100 or so images from years ago.

So Groups was a cline of this, the only difference now being that the people who wanted to add things to the Yahoo group have done that, and the people who wanted to move to Groups put their pists up there.

All members of the original Yahoo were sent an email inviting them to Groups and instructing them how to do it, which was basically click 'reply'.

Hope this helps

The list is most important to me. Others have adopted other platforms but have somehow folded the Yahoo list into it. Dont know how they manage it though

Maybe it's time to kill the Yahoo group…I suppose I have the power to do that---unless they have denied me that ability also.

Yahoo killed off most of the functionality of their "groups" product, so now it is just a simple email list. The "electric boats" group got migrated to groups.io. That new site works like the old yahoo version did, and in my opinion, somewhat better.

I'm not sure why this thread started using the yahoo version or why everyone just kept the discussion here. I've just been reading the posts and deleting, figuring that someone would eventually take this the current channel.

I agree with you. I havent found another system that is more cost effective while also allowing me to customize the install to my specs. Having a tough time with betts as well.

Looking at as many websites as possible.. I don't see anything better than Thunderstruck. It looks like with 25,700 displacement, I'll need to go with the 18 kw ME1.616 motor.
There seems to be a large price range in batteries. Do solar storage batteries work well. There are some Chinese companies that make these batteries much cheaper than others.

Jeff,
I'm at the beginning stages of refurbishing my CT41. I am starting to dismantle the Yanmar today! You know more than I do.

I have a 42 year old Hunter 30 that I am restoring. I am in the process of getting the small engine compartment ready for a 10kw thunderstruck engine. I would love to hear some of your suggestions on batts, chargers and solar that you would recommend.. Thanks.
