[Electric Boats] GlenL electric drive?

 

Hello, Arthur from Portugal here!!

Interesting that you mentioned the electric ed … I’m looking at it my self, to retrofit in a 24 ft sailboat, and I received an email from glen-L at the same time I received your post.

I am convinced that the overall concept is good and probably will be much more economic to build than the commercial proposals available for the same purpose.

I couldn’t still understand what kind of seal does the through hull tube uses ….or if it does at all….

This is epoxied/glassed in and could be taken higher than water line in order to prevent accidental water intake, working as a kind of a “well”… which I think is interesting from the

Safety point of view…

As for the rest, the 3hp cart motor they use, would have to be replaced by something with more “power”, but it might work.

I am curious myself …. Anyway out there used this design already?

 

Cheers !!
