I am a complete neophyte when it comes to electricity. When we bought a 1997 blue water boat in 2025 I knew I wanted a modern/dependable/efficient electrical system and the Boat How To Marine Electric 101 course enlighted me to "What right should look like." That got me started to tear every wire out of our boat with the intent to rewire everything. Once there (now what?), I needed help. Called Jan requesting a mechanism for consultation. He immediately obliged by connecting me to Matthias (the newest BHT partner) who video-called with me once and set out to rediagram my entire new Victron config, recommended pieces of control equipment I was missing and answered EVERY question I texted to him in quick succession. Matthias is my GO TO guy who is enabling me to finish this otherwise massive DIY project and has taken me from plebe to marine electric graduate with confidence the system is going to work properly. Further, Matthias and Jan are retail suppliers in Europe of everything lithium. Stuff that could be be sourced in the US they can source in Europe. AMAZING SERVICE. Anyone hesitant about marine electric or DIY electric would be well advised the best $$ spent on your project will be this course and/or BHT direct consulting. My wife and I are absolutly amazed at their service, 100% personalized analysis and recommendations. Diesel is next! Thanks a million Nigel, Jan and Matthias! Can't say enugh good words. 10 stars.
