[Electric Boats] Golf cart parts for sailboat

 

Hello All,

Brand new to the group, and please forgive me if this thread has been talked about(and I'm sure it has). I have a Cascade 29 that is currently powered with a 12 Farryman, single cylynder (very annoying). With the 33 gallon fuel tank and the engine/trans assembly gone I would have a tremendous amout of room for banks/motor/controller.

Would a typical golf cart 36v or 48v set up work or would I still need a reduction assy? Will these set ups re-gen? I have shore power available for charge, as well as a 2KW gas genny. I could easily add wind/solar. No off-shore work. No extended motoring periods (Columbia river) Also I'm not sure how long a typical golf cart batt bank lasts. The boat is easily run up to hull speed with the farryman and a 12x 8, dbl bladed prop (could probably fit 13").

Obviously, on a budget with the current state of things. Any help getting me pointed in the right direction would be appreciated.
