I had the boat on the hard for 3 weeks to do the bottom and while it was out I had the exhaust and fuel fill ports removed and fiber-glassed but as far as the conversion, it was done while the boat was in the water. It has the orginal stuffing box that was part of the Atomic 4 install and I did nothing to it. I get a 2 second drip while underway but have read that it's normal.

John, did you take the boat out for the conversion or did you do it in the wet? Does it have a regular stuffing box or a pss dripless?
Best regards
Jesper

I am in the final stages of converting a Catalina 27 from Atomic 4 to Thunderstruck 10KW electric motor. I have a 100AH 48 volt battery bank consisting of 4 100AH AGM batteries. I took it out for its first cruise Wednesday and will go out again today. Rough power consumption: 1 hour cruise at 3 knots used 22% of battery bank. I did not have gps hooked up so very rough numbers. Going out today to generate better numbers.

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.
