Battery and Electric Motor Panic. Have we got it all wrong? Can we fix it?

We are fitting an electric motor, and we have run into problems with the batteries we have bought, with British Standards and with Insurance. We have had to question all our decisions and struggle to find a way forward. We still got other jobs done though.! We are now living aboard our Rival 38 CentreCockput full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.p... Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).
