Epiroc has this going on with there underground scooptrams and haul trucks, batteries up to 576 kwh capacity. It works well for continuous operation of the equipment underground and in pits.

I ran electric brakes on my 13,000 pound tandem boat trailer for years. I rinsed with fresh water immediately after every submergence , they take a bit of love to maintain but I found them to be a completely workable system.

I hung my pair of Suzuki 140s at 26" as the manual recommended this as minimum spacing. If I was doing it again I might spread them apart a bit more as it's pretty cozy working on the insides of the engines.

I have been running Ecstar V7000 in my pair of 140s for 400 hours but will probably be switching to yamalube non synthetic as i can get it locally and doubt there is much benefit of running the suzuki semisynthetic.

Will be an awesome running offshore boat after a little renovation.

Ocean Master maybe ?

If I woke up to a 97db backup alarm at the dock I might go over and scuttle the craft myself to restore the peace. Just saying

Don't forget to buy yourself a sextant and learn how to use it.

I just use dish soap and a scrub brush, a little shot of Pine Sol through the bilge seems to keep it fresh.

tongue weight scales are available on Amazon and are an excellent tool for making towing safer. I am pretty sure you will be moving the boat back to get to your target of 300-350 lbs. tongue weight. I think around 10% of trailer gross is a reasonable target to put on the tow vehicle. With a...

Mechanical resistance in the hinge might be slowing it's return, once the boat is in the water and moving the water will return it to it's up position quickly, The rubber component of...

Do you have to get a rider on your home insurance for charging/parking the truck in the garage ?
