I don't think jimbuna meant the electric propulsion motors. He was referring to small electrical components that are non-essential, like Kapt Balz' electric blender that he makes those awful Hoochie Woochie Margaritas with.....................  |

On occasion though, the electric motors were stopped and the boat would drift for short periods of absolute silence.
Keeping a boat trimmed under those circumstances must have been a nightmare.
