Im restoring this 1955 all aluminum Duracraft runabout and hooking it up to a 24v 6hp Torqueedo outboard. I will post more as im figuring it out but I wanted to introduce myself and say hi!

First time out this season. I added a solar panel but found out it didn't produce enough voltage to charge a 48v battery... so ordered a boost charge controller. Apparently they're popular with golf carts, so I'm really happy that someone makes such a device.

Our little lake property has no power and is difficult terrain, so the only way to charge is with solar for now.
