[Electric Boats] Re: electric fork lift dc motor

 

Hi Sailingvacationclub (?)

Think about the other things that are inside your boat. Are they rusting away quickly? Dissovling before your eyes? In most boats with enclosed engine spaces, the equipment and wiring stays pretty dry (think about the engine that you have today). For sailing auxiliary conversions, corrosion has not proven to be a serious problem for the members on this board.

While 48VDC systems are not as common as 12V or even 24V, you have plenty of choices when in comes to charger, charge controllers, motor controllers, instruments, wind generators, solar panel configurataions, etc. My boat is 48V, many of the boats in this group are 48V.

Fair winds,
