I think the answer lies in the amount of power versus the time available. Its almost like three phase when it comes to ac. Its more efficient, and when it comes to batteries, it lasts longer between charges.

Lights, control and accessories are 12 volt. Propulsion is 36 volt. Some of the old boats used 24 volt for propulsion but when Captain George started building his own thrusters, he went to 36 volt.

So the k-350 calls for 36V motors and 24V lighting and assesories. Why doesn't it just use 12V? It would seem to be so much simpler, less wires and less expensive componets.
