    Just reconfigured 400 Kwh of flow batteries at work - it was two parallel Victron Multiplus 2 that needed an update. I trust them with vaccines that stop kids getting hundreds of preventable things if my fridges stay as required. Simply Yes after testing water tight integrity- I will trust once it is proven. I keep testing to try and fault my systems at least monthly at work. My boat could kill me and people I care a lot about so is in the same maintained routine which I can fault in several spots

    A short version. My little boat build buy a cool shyster I really like. It stopped 20km of shore once with water in the petrol. Fixed it via a water separator filter but it was a long way to swim and took well over an hour. The issue was a air line breather for the fuel system which was just fine 95% just not great in sloppy short rough stuff where water got in. My back fuel water filter up saved my bacon then and at other times.

    Fuel via jerries' refuelling in ****e rough water was Yikes plus- long range tank was great until rubbing just that little bit put a pin ***** hole in one of my two tanks. I am so over the ICE engine not from the lovely 115 HP Yamaha excluding the fumes. My primary issue is the C02 and pollution I know my two stoke puts in places I love. A very long way from places most sane people go. Suspect I will be very picky about the electrical bits I add to replace the ICE set up.

    Cat would be perfect for twin electric motors - the battery pack can be the ballast, the sails the back-up, and plenty of surface area to mount solar panels to recharge (slowly) when at sea.

    Electric motors would also be more reliable than ICE given there are so few moving parts.

    Now if I won lotto then these look good:

    I suspect that he means a power cat, probably like the old Sharkcats. No sails.
