1) Why, do you figure, when you apparently undid the house battery’s terminal bolts, and removed the cigarette lighter, and then redid the battery terminal bolts, did the house battery once again resume charging the motor battery?

2) How many amp hours each were your house battery and motor battery?

3) What brand/make electric motor did you use?

4) During the trip, were you able to have a fair idea of how many amp hours you were using per day, versus how many you were able to recharge your batteries?

Thanks, Cliff. Yes, we had a great trip on a gorgeous lake. The tent is Tyvek CommercialWrap, which is UV resistant and 50% thicker than HomeWrap. The seams are taped with 3M double-sided tape, which is also UV resistant. The poles are 1/4″ fiberglass. The “portholes” are cut from heavy plastic freezer bags and taped in place with the 3M tape. Mosquito net fore and aft has duct tape around the edges for reinforcement and then taped (fore) or Velcro-ed (aft) in place. The fore section of the Tyvek and the underlying mosquito net both have Velcro seams up the center to allow access to the anchor. Sitting height in the center of the tent is approx 45″ (from memory), which is several inches above sitting head height. I kept the height fairly low to reduce windage in summer thunderstorms. Over the preceding 30 years (two boats and three Tyvek tents), I have experienced thunderstorm wind speeds over 50 mph at anchor on three occasions — pretty exciting but no issues at all with the tents.
