[Electric Boats] Re: Conversion is underway!

 

Fred,
I have a Tartan 26 and I am leaning hard toward the same kit that you have installed. 
Do you use your boat on the ocean? How many hours do you get with the batteries? Do you have a back up generatorOriginal Message:
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.
