I am about to re-power my 35' Columbia with a Propulsion Marine drive. I will let the group know how it goes and the real world performance.

I was going to try and use my golf cart set up for a 40' houseboat, but was assured there would not be enough power there to move it sufficiently or effectively. However, it may work for your 29' sailboat which probably weighs a lot less than a houseboat. I have a good setup with the controller, motor, transmission, and original charger for it. If you are interested in it let me know.

I have a 1964 Columbia 29 sailboat with a 47 year old gasoline Atomic 4 engine. I don't motor much, I sail. I don't like the engine. I only need it primarily to get in and out of the marinas & harbors, and occasional ill winds. I am on a large inland lake where the winds are usually very favorable. I think that a golf cart motor conversion would be ideal. I'm a mechanical engineer, so designing the installation would be pretty easy. I just need to learn more about the electrical system, performance, battery drain, etc. Have any of you ever utilized a golf cart system to power a sailboat? I am happy to be in the group..Thank you -Michael Shea
