A 1970 Westwind Paceship 24 restoration project features a 920Ah lithium battery bank, consisting of two 460Ah Epic Elite batteries with integrated Class T fuses.1:51 The system powers a Starlink Mini, an Iceco APL 35 fridge-freezer, and a 3000W Victron MultiPlus inverter-charger.3:51 The owner designed the electrical system to support a floating office and cabin, estimating a daily draw of 1,630 to 2,900 watt-hours depending on the use of an electric griddle and crock-pot.3:28 This capacity allows for four to seven days of off-grid autonomy without solar supplementation.11:43 To mitigate concerns regarding the 186-pound battery weight forward of the mast, the design balances the load against a 9.9hp outboard motor and a 20-gallon freshwater tank located in the aft engine well.14:28 The Victron components are sized for future transfer to a larger vessel.13:12 Final trim and waterline balance remain subject to testing once the boat is launched.14:48
