ECOTEC 2.0 LTG SWAP

Contrary to most my motor over cools when under load. Motor try’s to stay about 220. Cruising at 3500 rpm it will stay about 210. On dry ground at 4000 or more rpm’s the temp keeps dropping. It will get to 180 degrees in August running sticky green. I had hoped the screen would help that but I see no change. Never have to worry about cooling, or a hole in the radiator😂

CWAIS move down here when you retire no telling what we can tear up.
 
Made another change to the micro block. Added a ANTIGRAVITY ATX-20 lithium battery. Rated at 680 cranking amps and weighs about 3.8 pounds. It cranks as strong as the 1000 MCA battery that I took out and it weighed 47 pounds. Also listened to the radio in the boat for 4.5 hours and the state of charged only dropped 7%. You can add a module that connects to your phone when you are near enough that allows you to see current state of charge and the overall health of the battery. Pretty cool.......AND it has a restart feature! lets say you are listening to some tunes and you pass out from drinking too much, the battery will shut off and not allow itself to be drawn down to the point that it can't still provide 680 cranking amps. When you wake up from your nap you simply push a button on the top of the battery to wake it up and you are on you are on your way back to the boat launch.

That lithium battery is cool, I would suggest making some kind of battery/fireproof box. We used lithium batteries for our r/c planes, we put them in a fireproof bag to charge so they wouldn't burn down the house in case of failure.

I use a 30x40 foot metal box, I call it a shop. It is filled with things I like but can live without, not the things/people I love.

Whoever first came up with the idea of the attached garage where you park vehicles full of energy (EV or gas) inside your house is/was an idiot.

I was more worried about the boat burning down in the middle of the woods or if you sink. My boat stays outside under a shed so I don't have to worry about that. I wish I had land to have a shop, but in south Florida you have to be rich or bought it 30+ years ago.
