Re: [Electric Boats] Re: marine grade 48Volt charger

I found George of Electric YachtInc, email folks, . . . . drum roll , here. . . . it is< gnhbus@aol.com >, if you are on the east coast ie new england then he is the guy to talk to , he has put up numerous 10 ton and larger boats with electric power, often and without problems, one does not need explosive fuels to move a 10-12 ton vessell at hull speed and mind you one can not get any displacement vessel to move faster than hull speed unless one is surfing down a large wave , in a torment at sea , eh?

Hello Bradley,

I have been using a Quickcharge 48v on-board charger for the boat. It has been aboard only this year, but so far it has been woking well. I have a Mars motor, Sevcon controller, with six 8v Trojan batteries.

I had the Zivan NG-1 but unfortunately it is just not capable of being used very well in a marine environment as far as I'm concerned. it's a great charger but I have to take it out of the boat after each charge and sail. I believe I'd prefer a single bank 48 volt charger instead of a 4 bank charger 12V charger but am open to conversion with reasonable argument. Does anyone have a good or great suggestion on this front?
