The Wall O' Stuff. I swear it started off neater.

I'm using the low pitch props, which I believe are the ones for low speed, heavy craft. I did order the aluminum props as well as I've heard good things about them over the plastic ones but they're on backorder.

Not currently, I'm using DC circuit breakers.

Steering is a sore subject. It originally had regular cable push-pull type steering with a double helm. I removed the rudders and got new cables that would reach the motors. It was 6 turns lock to lock so it was pretty difficult to control. Lots of turning. I switched to hydraulic and it went...

They'll work off 30 or 50 amp plugs, pretty common at most marinas. I doubt I could run both at full throttle off one 50 amp plug but they're adjustable. I haven't had to use them yet.

Sorry, I'll post more, I haven't been the best about documenting this. Close-up of the motor mount, 8" aluminum angle 1/2" thick holds it to the boat. Small jack plate to get it low enough. Shot of the ePropulsion control screen showing about 3400 watts at 5.5kn. The two silver pull switches...

We haven't seen anything yet, other than our solar rack being less stiff than we had hoped. We're adding some cables and turnbuckles to tie it to the original mast step.

I'll get some pics. It started out pretty neatly arranged but a level of untidiness has ensued.

I've got 2 Victron 48v to 12v converters in parallel for my 12v loads. I've got a lead acid for my bilge pumps but I'll be wiring them to the converters (with a backup) at some point. Oven is gone, we don't have any propane on the boat anymore. We've got an induction cooktop and we're getting a...

They're pretty deep but a few inches more wouldn't hurt. I do get some cavitation in reverse. I've got anti-cavitation plates on order to help. No hatch, we're just going to use a long-handled soft brush.

This is exactly what I needed to know, thanks!

Zwy, are you running yours in tandem, charging the same bank? Mine are charging different banks now but I might combine the banks. I didn't know if they would behave together on the same battery bank.

I've built a solar catamaran out of a 2000 Gemini 105M sailing cat. Some basic specs: - 2x ePropulsion Navy 6.0 motors, 6000w each max. - 16x BlueSun Bifacial 575w solar panels, max output 9200w. - 2x EG4 100amp MPPT solar charge controllers - 4x 48v 160ah LiFePO4 batteries - 2x EG4 5000w shore...

I have two, they shutdown automatically when the sun sets and start back up in the morning. No idle draw.
