Re: [Electric Boats] Electric motor conversion

 

Type of range and speeds your looking for?   The generator (what KW?) and Solar panels will help a little in keeping the battery bank price down. But the phrase "small fortune" is pretty subjective, what would you like to spend on the project total?  That will help with recommendations.

Hello everyone. We are now serously thinking of changing out our diesel motor to an electric varient. I cannot see spending a small fortune for this so surplus parts are in order. We have joined this group for advise and to share our goings. Our boat is 42 feet x 12 - 8 tonnes. We currently have a 2 cylinder diesel SABB with flywheel. We also have solar panels, a diesel welder/generator so recharging a bank of batteries is not a problem. We have plenty of room in the engine compartment now, so in thinking we can increase our ship storage to be converted to a shop.

We welcome all replys. Thanks in advance. Steven
