Hybrid mk2

Spent a day on the boat yesterday while Graeme for Hybrid Marine fitted the new hybrid upgrade.

The mark 2 version includes many improvements over the original system including, a new control box, removing the electromechanical clutch for improved reliability and better control,single lever control using the main throttle for both the diesel and the Electric drive, a new colour control display with much more and clearer information displayed and a radio remote control unit allowing basic drive to be operated from the bank. Inside the system the software has been completely rewritten to take advantage of the new motor controller and to improve both the drive and the charging process.

I will update the hybrid page in the  "About the Boat" section.
