Finally back to upgrading my Venture . Took out by back last year and had to have surgery . No working on boats for a long time . But now back at it . I had installed the lithiums for the motors But didn't have the big bus bars That are needed for large house batteries . So I put in a small house lithium as a temp waiting for the back ordered parts . Then screwed up my back . So I have been stuck with this small house battery and couldn't in there to install the large one . It didn't like the 500a bow thruster at all . In the last week I put a softstart on the ac unit . Thre is no surge when it starts . Takes about 2 seconds to ramp up and never pulls more than the rated run amps . Generator and inverter are going to love this . Got the inverter mounted just need to wire it up . Also started installing the 260a lithium house bank . Hope to finish it tomorrow . These things can do a 10 sec surge to 2600 amps .They should be able to easily handle the thruster without letting the house voltage drop too far . Here is a picture of them mounted , Just have to wire them in .
