Thanks a lot for the pictures. Did you leave it open to the air of install the "slash" box that came with it? I wondered if the slash box would interfere or help with engine cooling. Have you had a chance to do any extended cruising on electric power? Or do you just use it for leaving the dock?
Have you been happy with your purchase so far? Sorry for all the questions, but your the first one I know of that has installed this unit, and it is very high on my buy list.
And the market is such on these engines that you can not go on Amazon and see how many stars the previous buyers gave it. Although I think it would be a good idle for some of the sellers of electric motors to list there products on Amazon it is a great way to get you products out there and it cost nest to nothing to be a Amazon seller.

The Thoosa 9000 (9kw) is still 48 volts. The next larger size is the 12000 (12kw) and goes up to 72 volts. You might also look at the specs for the Thoosa 7000HT (7kw high torque) which is just over that size you are looking for.

The only advantage I see that Electric Yacht has over the others right now is in one category. The 360ibl is the most HP (17SHP) at 48 volts on the marine market. So for those with large boats that want a drop in option then EY is the only option that I know of. Around 10 SHP most of the rest have good options and all of them have 5SHP options.
If any one knows of other 20HP or more 48volt kits, I would personally like to know.

John,
I don't see that Electric Yacht offers any particular benefit that the other vendors often mentioned on this list do not offer as well. They all have "turn-key" products with proven track records, high quality products, documented performance, warranties and satisfied customers.
I think that each reader should research each of the major vendors like Electric Yacht, Advanced Marine, Annapolis Hybrid (ASMO), Solid Nav or Propulsion Marine and choose the one that meets their personal selection criteria. Keep in mind that each of these vendors are members here too.
If you have installed a particular system in your own boat, then you should discuss your direct experience. But you should be careful to not declare any particular solution as "better" unless you've got first-hand experience to back that up.
I know that the group owner is not interested in making this group a place for dealers to troll for customers.
Fair winds,
Eric
