  • Here’s a quick video of what’s inside the boat! 400 watts of solar panels, trolling motor, heater etc. It sure gets some looks on the river. Cheers everyone! The adventure continues.

      In the days of my wayward youth we would spend days drifting down river in our raft(s), and always had cans of beer submerged and drifting along with us. Because it was Oregon, thus the river was fed by glacial runoff, we knew our brews would be drinkable whenever we popped them open.

    Thanks for the video! Tthe minuscule efficiency advantage of an MPPT controller is basically meaningless at 400 watts under most conditions. I found a cheap PWM controller that allows me to select the absorption voltage (14.9 for 6 volt X 2 golf cart batteries) and has temperature compensation. I doubt you could find another off-the-shelf controller that charges my batteries any faster. Great to see you are out in the plastic barrel-toon raft! Can't wait for the whole story.

    Over cast cloudy conditions are perfect for photography or filming. Professional people love that weather the light is even on the face and in this video everything looked bright. The river is beautiful plus you have a beach and privacy your so lucky. So many people are coming up were I am there leaving nyc. It's getting crowded here I don't like it. Wish I could visit Canada I never traveled there before but the mountains are beautiful. My beloved California is on fire the Redwood National Forest is burning breaks my heart. That's we're I'm from . Nice video thanx 🤠

    The trolling motor claim of lasting 5 times longer may be true, but only at the very lowest speed settings. So if on speed 1 of a traditional resistor based speed control motor, it may draw about 5 amps while your PWM based motor would draw only about 1 amp to get the same RPMs to the prop. At higher speeds, the difference drops of until max speed, where there is no difference at all.
