Re: [electricboats] Draft Schematic-Please give input

“Anyone considering going all electric propulsion in the salty ocean environment is being naive. The IC and computer components will corrode unless sealed circuit board tech, like in military, automotive ECUs and even in residential clothes dryers is used. That makes repair maintenance difficult....unless spare sealed circuit boards can be easily swapped  out.”

Yes, 100% agree. My suggestion is to do as you recommend in your post and prevent salt water and sea air from ever reaching sensitive components. The compass on my boat is protected this way as are all of the electronics. Living directly on the coast has made me aware of the impact of corrosion and has taught good lessons on how to win the battles in my 100% electric, solar, all computerized 34' trawler catamaran.
