[Rhodes22-list] Check out SolidNav :: Thefirst alternativeforeveryone

[Ron Singerman]

If you want to see a real neat electric motor installation, for sail boats, 
check out www.re-e-power.com .   IMO the main drawback, other than the 
price, is the weight of the batteries.  Another Rhodes owner on the site led 
me to this and if he wants to jump in, he is much more knowledgeable than I 
am.
