@driftwood6525 ~ Hey L ~ thanks for watching ~ i will have to LET YOU KNOW..i just ordred an AMP meter ( digital ) from ebay ~BTW- thanks for the info on that on where and what to get!!! ~ im sure the amps are up there a bit.. you know, it seems the bigger the motor, the LESS draw i am using... something to do with LOAD resistance on a rated current draw of the power tool? anyway ~ to all those who read this !~ CHECK OUT driftwoods channel ~ A W E S O M E all electric boat !!!

I confess I been resistant to the on/off electric steering. But. Store bought electric steering starts at 3 or 4 grand & goes insane expensive from there. Maybe we can figure a way to take your economical DIY & introduce feedback & speed of turn movement at the control. Like a model remote airplane has.

@craigsmithx ~hey craig ~the cool thing about this steering system is, it is CLUTCH controlled so ~ when it goes to the stops, it will not burn out the motor or overload curent draw in wires! AND~~the port stbd helm switch is " momentary " so, the steering system gas two fail safes!!!

Chris, you're inspiring me new ideas for my boat! That genset might never pan out as intended but the 24v electric motor could go where you have an angle grinder. & further more I'd be a lot more comfortable if I had solar panels. Please do videos with your solar panels & charging system :)

@craigsmithx ~hey craig ~ yes yes yes~ i was wondering if you had thoughts about that. but, the gen set is REALLY COOL and i like the idea of incorp. electric trol motors with it should be pretty quiet as well as economical
