Bill, so sorry to hear the sad news. I am not a very wordy guy so I just want to echo the words and thoughts that have already been expressed.

I have been using small chain drives in place of cogged belts as you show. They are nice because you can custom size the length you need very easily. They come in various sizes and and different cogs. I get mine from McMaster-Carr, in the USA . They have an amazing amount of items for machinists and a source for hobbyists.

First off, welcome back.
Just curios if all the batteries are showing the lower voltage or just 1 or 2. Maybe there is a weak cell in the low ones.

I use the following STETION Car Audio 40 Amp Resettable Fuse Circuit Breaker Car Protect for Audio System Fuse 12-24V DC which I purchased from Amazon. It has 2 functions built into one device. It acts as a resettable circuit breaker that is available in different ratings from 20 to 200 amps and also has a lever switch that you can use to open the circuit to isolate the power and can be reset to restore the power. I have mine inline with the main battery and the load. When I am done for the day or just want to disconnect the load I just flip the lever.

Lew, I love the idea that if you can not get figures to match your boat then just build the boat to match the figures you have๐. Another great job.

Thanks RR. I do not attend the show in Louisville as it is just too hot there at that time of year. I do attend other NSRA nationals like the one in York, PA and Burlington, VT. Your hot wheels conversions look cool.

River Rat, your 2 autos are great. Take a looh at my '40 Ford deluxe. Me and my wife have had it since 1993 and drive it all over town and out of state. Stock looking but fully upgraded with all creature comforts and go fast power options from engine to rear end.
