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

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.
