I can imagine. And my dad who was in the area, and also knew something about 6v systems, told me flat out that everyone knew that the reason JFK's boat got rammed by a Jap destroyer was because he had shut the motor off to be able to hear better. The PT boat crews were under orders not to shut off engines. They had 6v electrical systems, and were notorious for not starting when the engine was hot. By the rules, he should have been court marshelled too. I got no beef with JFK. Just strange how when your a Senators son, you go from getting court marshalled to some making a movie that portrays you as a hero.
You ever listen to these guys. I was really fascinated with their knowledge of events and the way the presented the data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSHVfY2LVoE
In the old days, many cars had same 6v systems. I heard from my oldest brother, who maybe learned from my dad, that is was a common thing to leave moonshine running cars running all night long, don't even shut them off, or they would not recrank till the engines cooled.
Didn't make sense to me because I though presumingly if you left the shut off for all night, it would be cool in morning. Maybe I did not understand the typical schedule of a car used to run shine.
