[Rhodes22-list] Check out SolidNav :: The first alternative foreveryone

[Ben Schultz]

Cool to see progress on this front.  I had no idea.  My occasional long
trips will require me to stick with gasoline for the time being, but I'll be
watching.  I would love to switch to something quiet for that 10-minute
motor out to the lake.  

I wish I had the nerve and the skill to sail in and out, like Stan does.  I
bet I could do it.  I used to sail into my slip at a different marina, but
my current dock requires me to do a lot of turns through the wind.

Lou,
Placing two AGM batteries in the lazzerette is to much weigh aft. I would  
opt for placing them under the V berth, keeping the weight forward where the

 Rhodes likes it best. There is plenty of room for two batteries and with a 
shoe  horn you might be able to fit a third one in there.

Ive been following this evolution for a few months  now.  Torqueedo  
may be one of the few that have an 8hp  output
with their CRUISE R system  where you supply two 12V batteries  in  
series for power.  The price is considerable at almost  $2600. just for
the OB.  I would go with AGMs mounted on either side  of the R22 laz  
but prices WILL fall.
RE-E_POWER.com has their  inboard power module which you can mount  
infront of the rudder aft  of the center drain for only $2000.
They rate that module at 7-9hp and have  a passive recharging system  
as well.

Im waiting for prices to  come down to $1500. for the motor alone  
capable of 8hp before I  invest in this change.
