The 1050 volt thyristor converter in this machine was a marine drive from a boat.
I can't tell you much about its original intended use but all the parts were made to resist moister and dirt ( may have been for bow thrusters ??)
Its was a very old piece of analog electronics from the ASEA days but very reliable!

Imagine electric is a must inside a tight space like that! Is that mining gear? I understand how mining accidents in the past where 2 explosions, spark-ignited natural gas, then fire ignited air-borne coal dust.

You have the right idea, Sky. Also, by placing the majority of ballast (tanks, battery) inside the chine area the roll motion is less due to inertia. But in this 43’ motor yacht’s case most of the mass is right near centerline in the form of 2ton diesels…. so ignore what I just said about ballast and chew some ginger root.

Moving more mass into the sponson/ pontoons definitely help. On an RC hydroplane I pulled the deck off and permanently installed and split the battery pack down and forward in each sponson. This reduced the roll and lowered the CG, also wasn’t as twitchy on pitch. My son would race it and constantly win. We had several motor calls (modified motor). The complainant would put up cash and get the motor. No big deal, we kept getting fresh motors that way and it still didn’t help the looser A lot of the performance was due to my prop work too.

On the 43’, they weren’t diesels. A pair of Vortec’s
