Congrats on your successful re-launch!
Now you have to change your sig line though... and what is her new name?

Yesterday, after 7.5 years on the hard, we launched and enjoyed our
maiden voyage under electric power.
Now, I have to clean up the below decks which took the brunt of the
load of dirt etc. caused by all the glass and deck work but at least
we are in the water!
Now, for a few notes as to how she performed
1)So quiet and smooth at low RPM that you don't even know you are
running the engine, until you look out the back and see the prop wash
swirls.
2)Below 1000 RPM hardly noticeable
3)Above 1000 RPM we encountered some vibration which we surmised was
due to imperfect alignment related as well to being on the hard for so
long, so we will re-align in a week etc. till this goes away.
4)The stuffing box was adjusted at the dock to just tighter than no
drips when not turning. Under power, initially no temperature rise
noted until about 20 minutes. As there was hardly any water dripping
while turning, I then slowly loosened it to 1 drip per 20 seconds and
the temperature rise stopped and it was just warm to the touch.
Interestingly at the controls which shows time to discharge, after I
did this, the time number went up, reflecting the loss in resistance.
I then re-locked the nut in this position and it ran fine.
5)Recharging at my club is a bit of a challenge because it looks like
the 15A it needs is not being delivered at my dockside station, unlike
the power supply I had at the yard. My installer recommended using a
y-splitter to provide a plug in into 2 15A outlets combining into my 1
30A inlet cable, what does the list think?
6)With a new Martec 2 bladed folder, backed up nicely, got up to the
full rated 1850 RPM easily except of course the aforementioned
vibration above 1000.
7)Cockpit conversations at cruise power were held in a normal tone of
voice....as if we were ghosting....
