[Electric Boats] planned sailboat conversion - controller options?

 

Hi all.

I've been planning my sailboat electric conversion for a while and have pretty much settled on using a Mars brushless ME-3001 motor, direct drive @ 24v or 36v.

The boat is 28' OAL, full keel shoal draft, 7,300lbs displacement. IIRC, prop is 14" diameter, 12" pitch (it's currently in my car which is under 2' of snow!)

I'm thinking direct drive @ 24v. That will keep things simple for connecting the motor, and keep the RPM within range of the previous ICE/prop combo, even though it'll be less efficient than a higher voltage.

Any opinions or advice?
Suggestions for an affordable controller for this motor?

Thanks,
Tim.
