[Electric Boats] Catalina Conversion

 

Hi All
Thanks for all the great info on this site I have begun the electric repower of my Catalina 27 sailboat. The Atomic 4 is disconnected and awaiting removal slated for this Wednesday. On the bench in the garage is a Mars BLDC motor mounted on a 2:1 gear reducer with a Kelly controller. I have had a chance to try both the Kelly controller and a Sevcon gen4 on the bench and both work equally well unloaded. I still need to choose batteries and manufacture mounts for motor and batteries. I don't expect to be operational for at least a month so in the meantime if the wind is favorable a trolling motor will help me out the slip.
