[Electric Boats] Re: Conversion is underway!

 

Hi, I installed the 8.5kw kit in a Tartan 27, and it works fine. One mistake I made was not looking to see if the prop shaft is skewed or parallel to the centerline. I had to open up the holes in my powder-coated mounting pieces! Anyway, I used 8v flooded batteries to best approximate the weight distribuion of the old engine and full tank of fuel. If I had to do it again I would use sealed batteries.
