Re: [Electric Boats] Columbia 29 sailboat

 

Bill -

 

What, exactly, do you have?  Please be specific.  What type and model and year of golf cart is the doner?  A motor?  How many Kw?  RPM?  Torque? 36V or 48V?  A controller?  How many amp?  What brand or model?  Also, switches?  Do you have a forward / reverse?  Also a speed selector switch?  How much $ do you want?  Where are you located (shipping costs)?  And how well do you think that this stuff will work? 

 

Thank you very much!!

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 -
