    Are you ready for Lithium on your boat?

    In this episode, Rafael Escobar from Bluewater Yacht Tech shares insights on marine electrical systems, lithium batteries, solar power, and navigation technology, helping boat owners make smarter upgrades and maintenance decisions. Most cruisers still run the old playbook: a diesel generator that has to run whenever the batteries get low. Rafael's world is the shift away from that: lithium house banks, solar, and smart charging that turn a boat into a quiet, self-sufficient platform. But the same technology introduces new failure points and new things a buyer needs to check before writing a check. A boat's electrical and electronics package is now one of the biggest drivers of both its usability and its value. And one of the least understood at survey time. Rafael is the expert who can translate the systems so buyers, sellers, and owners make smart decisions.
