When my boat is off the dock, I'm running more than a couple electric pumps. We have nav equipment, autopilot, microwave, lights, computer, cell phone chargers running, etc. I have backup systems too. But knowing my Lehmanns will run and run and run on diesel alone is added security to me. Obviously you think you are immune to an electrical failure. I was taught good seamanship is thorough mitigation of failures.
