Re: [Electric Boats] Hello! Looking for good advice about converting a large sailboat from diesel to electric

 

I am also working with Scott at EY to outfit my Seawolf 40.   I looked at the Thoosa 1700 as well, but decided to go with Scott's system after reviewing the specs of each and trading emails with EY.  The price difference sure help convince me as well.

Hello! I found your list last night. I have a 37 foot '79 Hunter
Cherobini Sailboat that I want to take the old nasty diesel engine out
and replace it with a clean electric motor. Has anyone done this for a
sailboat this large? Just how much power would I need and how much
battery will that require?

I just want to be able to maneuver in and out of the dock for the most
part without freaking out the harbormaster. He is under the impression
that you can't have a boat without an engine. Else I'd just rip the
thing out and use the compartment for a sail loft. lol I mean, we've
been sailing boats for 3000 years without engines, but dang if people
don't freak out when you talk about going engineless. Gawd I hate diesels.

Any good advice out there?
