The aftermarket figured that out several yrs ago. Here’s one example: https://www.ev-controls.com/ for that matter. GM makes an electric motor kit that readiky bolts up to a GM bolt pattern. That may be an even easier option.

Oh I agree completely. You can get adapters to mount a Nissan Leaf or Tesla motor to a GM bell housing. I assume that would also work for mounting it to a v-drive. It’s a doable project for someone with the disposable income to pull it off. These motors will have plenty of power to get to...

Have you checked out the greenline boats? if you had the coin you could Rip out all of the gas equipment from a Sundancer. Drop in two Nissan leaf or Tesla motors, along with a large battery pack and a diesel genset. This would really only be feasible if you’re okay tooling around at hull...

If your use case is to overnight on batteries and then recharge the batteries with an on-board generator or shore power than I believe the answer is yes. You can build this system today. If you are trying to ditch your generator completely AND anchor out for a week while running heat or AC then...

In NC they just dumped that shit into the rivers.

That’s funny. A local said to make it long enough to go through the windlass so that you can cut it without going into the locker

I ended Up getting 210’ of chain and will just use this in lieu of chain/rode combo. Can I connect this to the d-ring with a short piece of 3/8’ rode so that I can cut it easily if needed?

I’m not sure why you have such an attitude here I’m trying to be respectful towards you. Read this. It’s a fairly politically unbiased sourced. https://www.autoblog.com/2024/03/20/epa-issues-new-rules-aimed-at-cutting-carbon-boosting-evs-and-hybrids/ the new rules ease off the previous...

I’m not really interested in hybrids. Too complicated. Give me an EV or a simple ICE. This in between just seems like overly complicated garbage.

Now find that in the regulation.

The regulation absolutely is intended to drive down sales of gas cars. I’m not arguing that Tim. The regulation does not require EVs though. It allows for other tech to replace them. exactly what you guys have been asking for.

First off. I’m neither a liberal or a retard. I did read it. I also read the regulation. I suggest you do the same. Then you can see how you’re being manipulated.

The new regulations allow for alternative solutions To the problem they want to address. hybrids, hydrogen etc The article, as is usual for msm, only gives partial information. go to the source and stop relying on someone else to feed you half the information. also. 50% is less than 100%...

Argo nav is pretty good

This is what I’m referring to, foxnews is clearly playing a boogeyman tactic here. This is a step back from what was in place before, and when we get closer they’ll step back again. They have always done this.

My boy wanted an EV until I handed him the keys to a Mazda RX-8 which is just about the biggest environmental disaster you can imagine in a car.

don’t think so. This looks like easing up to me, which is what most sane people have been saying all along. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/us-to-finalize-revised-ev-mileage-rating-rule-in-win-for-automakers-sources-say of course msm will put their own spin to this and make it look like the...

I have 150’ of rode in the garage. I’m going to go with that and 150’ of chain That should let me use all chain for 99% of my anchoring and I’ll have the rode for any time that I might be in deeper water. I rarely put out more than 90’ currently.

after shipping with defender, it’s actually cheaper to get it from the local west marine

We put a torqeedo on the dinghy for my wife to use and she loves it. I don’t have to worry about maintaining it. She can install it by herself. Start it by herself and clean it. It has enough range for her to get from the boat to the public docks and also to hit up her favorite beach spot all...
