    Thank you for doing this video. I am about to do the same with a small motor sailor I own. If I get you right this system will only give you about 15 minutes of powering at hull speed or less? Of course with a generator running and/or solar pumping juice into the batteries you can go longer? Again Thank you

      Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply, but I do not actually have a diagram of it anymore. I wish I did. It would come in handy when I am now tracing through to add new components and stuff.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and execution of a very well designed DIY SV electrical system. 👍 👏
    LFP batteries are the only current battery chemistry I would consider because LFP’s (AKA LiFePO4) is not subject to thermal runaway and, as we know, fire is the major threat to boats when at sea (Fire, Flooding, Collision/Grounding). 😎

I can't seem FYI find your "electric yacht" brand (too generic to search). Can you tell me how you found them? Or share a link in the description to their site?
