Has it just been 12 years, Eric? J
I seem to recall you having gone electric about when I did (2003).
You certainly were on the leading edge of sailboat conversions and I may have been one of the first to put an ETEK on an outboard to drive a decent sized boat.

" I was specifically referring to over computerized systems on smaller boats, susceptible to humid, salty atmosphere. . If the installation is kept more rudimentary and simpler, it can assumed it probably would be less troublesome. Larger vessels that have extensive electronics, have more climate control and hardened electronics"
I still can't tell where you're going with this. My all electric propulsion boat (PMAC motor, 3phase AC controller, advanced SOC monitoring, smart charger, etc.) has sophisticated electronics, not hardened, with no climate control in a 57 year old wooden boat. After 12 years in the ocean, no component has failed due to the humid, salty environment. You have already stated that that I am being naive for the conversion of my ocean going boat, are you also implying that my highly efficient and effective conversion is rudimentary? Please tell us which electronic components in your boat have failed due to environmental exposure so that we can take the appropriate precautions.
