Amazing isn't it. That many mAh in such a small package. My old-school brain doesn't want to trust something that small. I wonder what our boat systems will look like in 20 years?

BTDT: Not a bad idea. I like creativity. Any idea on the life expectancy of the lithium ion pack?

I like that wink SleepyC. No I don't feel the need to move a battery. I want to leave the engine battery in the starboard lazarette. It's busy in there but everything works. I only have one battery presently, and your earlier advice was to add another. Since we are remote, and there have been...

Great safety point Jay!!! Better to have more stern weight than risk bow-steer dangers in big seas. I'm going to go with your advise.

Thanx guys. Per Ferg perhaps I am over analyzing. In my search of the site it seemed there were a number of posts about moving batteries, which I took as a sign those owners think they have too much weight aft. There seems to be a lot of attention paid to the work involved but i found little...

In a previous thread it was suggested I add a second battery. I did a search and there seem to be a lot of advice threads about technical aspects, cable size, etc. But none about weight relationship fore to aft. Nor did I see any followup as to how those who moved a battery forward liked the...

I do like Sin Nombre. But I can almost hear the cogitation on "Sin" if one tries to transliterate to English. Another result of brainstorming that I tend to like, from the book of Psalms: C-lah (selah). I trust more folks would figure that out. I keep trying to use the C, but perhaps I...

I appreciate the objectivity. You got my attention. I was trying to be clever of name, perhaps to the omission of the practical. So I'm now approaching a name from a more sensible standpoint. I sat down and brainstormed. I like C-quin (as in a small shiny object on a greater background). But...

As mentioned in the Death Valley thread, we bought the 22 Cruiser formerly known as C-Girl, and have been cogitating on a new name. All the good names seem to be taken, and I don't want to hijack someone else's creativity in the name dept. Some of you gave good suggestions for our area. Much...

The input is appreciated! Yes I'd love a Wallas (I was hoping to buy a boat that had one already) but can't justify the price. Espar sounds like it pretty much does the same thing heater wise, but at 1/3 the cost. I'm going to get a butane can and see if the existing stove has any problems...

Wow, great active site guys. The boat is currently in So Calif where we winter. We hope to haul it to Gustavus end of April or early May. This will be our 8th summer there.

Thanks Gents: The 22 was somewhat set up for Alaska, having relatively new touch screen electronics, digital radar, and a cockpit enclosure, but also lacking in aspects. No kicker. One needs a get-home backup motor as we are remote. I can swap the 10hp kicker off our fishing boat, but need to...

I don’t have much to contribute so decided to remain a lurker. I did register recently, but summers we must travel to a library to get internet, and that wifi is slower than slow, and not conducive to forum interaction. A chance meeting in Death Valley, CA…. of all places to encounter a C-brat...
