I really can't understand why anyone would fit electric propulsion. The extra expense, range issues and they are worse for the environment than an ice engine.

The sea will do what it wants in its own time, regardless of mans efforts.

The Oceanvolt went well with 888 till it was REALLY needed.

I tend to just have a quick peek in the mirror, my handicaps are immediately evident

The difference between want vs need.

Great prognosticating!

I tried really hard to make it work for me, but ended up going 2 x 40hp diesel again, and don't regret it for a minute. The all-electric solution is, imho, not mature enough or well proven enough. There are numerous boats that have gone that way, and then ripped it all out & refitted ICE drivetrains. Ultimately, every now & then you may need to motor for 48 hours, and nothing all electric will do it. Not in small craft size.
