32 Volt Survey

[HahnR]

I'm keeping the 32 volt system until it's no longer possible or too expensive to find replacement components. Like everyone else said, it still works

The 32 V system is so robust that mine is working at 36 vdc due to the fact that a the t present time,is almost imposible to get 8 vdc batteries down here in Venezuela.

Works fine. What’s the old adage, “if it ain’t brokeDon’t fix it”’

I like the fact that our 32 volt system and its still good Hatteras wiring is unlikely to be overloaded.

I love my 32 volt system. It all works well and I have no desire to replace anything unless I absolutely have to due to lack of items being manufactured that work on 32v.

Hull #522 here, a 1978 53MY. I can still have batteries made for us in Pennsylvania if necessary. Using two sets of 8-volt beasts... they’re only 185AH... the 210’s were too large for our batt boxes and I didn’t want to deal with that 5 years ago after purchasing her... there were too many other horrific previous owner issues at the time! Next time though!

32V and happy

Still works for me, even though it has been using 36v (3* 2D's per side) since 2002.

I had my hands on some mil surplus air starters for my 12’s and toyed with the idea of getting rid of the starting batteries. But I’ve stuck with the 32v system.

Other than having to wait for over a week for new batteries …I have no issues as long as we can source parts!
