Both are redundant as the sub has two banks each – ten batteries total. Two sets of three in series for the 36v, two sets of two in parallel for the 12v.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After much reflection decided to go with 45lb 12v side thrusters. They can pull from the 12v bank. For maneuvering I think they’ll be plenty. They’ll be on a motor controller as will the 101lb 36v rear thruster. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Got just the motor heads for $100.00 each so a score on that. Will probably attach 3 bladed props. I have a couple of 10A 36v to 12v converters already so I’m thinking maybe I’ll pull 12v off the 36v bank to run some other things like external lights. I can mount them in the box that currently has the motor solenoids as I won’t need them for the side thrusters. Might be able to get a motor controller in there too.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Harold was originally designed to use those huge Honeywell 36v motors so I figure I have overkill reserve battery power once I switch the thrusters to trolling motors. Maynard added more batteries than the original Kittredge design.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for all the input.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
