(upbeat music)  - Hi,  Jeff Cote here with Pacific Yacht Systems.  What we are gonna talk about next  is a methanol battery charger or a fuel cell.  This is a really handy device for you  to recharge your batteries without being  connected to shore power, when you don't have  the ability to run your charger,  your alternator is not running  or you had a lacks  sun  and your solar panels are not working.  Really handy, we put it in a lot of boats  that cruise here around, they might have  solar panels for the summer but what happens  in the shoulder season, what happens in the winter?  They want to operate their boat in those months  where the sun isn't shining here  in the Pacific Northwest.  I have both on my boat, I have solar panels  and I have the methanol fuel cell,  installed one on my boat six years ago,  seven years ago  and I absolutely love it.  It really gives boaters the ability to  extend their cruising season  and not have to worry about their batteries  being constantly discharged  and it does so quietly, it's 22 decibels,  there's almost no vibration, you can barely feel it  and it's running in the background.  And even better is that it runs  in the background automatically,  you don't have to turn it on or off,  it does that all by itself.  You can control it via a remote control  or even a nifty Bluetooth dongle  allows you to actually operate it via your iPhone.  The fuel is here, basically it's methanol, 10 liters.  You know a typical boater is going to use maybe  two of these a year, they're very affordable fuel  and methanol fuel cells are great,  it extends your time at anchor,  it allows a boater to not have to worry  about can I stay at anchor for another day?  Do I need to start running my engine?  Do I need to go to a dock to recharge my batteries?  It's sort of this device that miraculously  allows you to be able to stay in anchor for longer  and we here at Pacific Yacht Systems  really endorse the product  and if you've got any questions or wondering  if an Efoy is right for you, contact us  at Pacific Yacht Systems.  Thanks for watching.
