Good Day,
I wish to convert my Stone Horse Sloop to electric power. For several reasons (cost, ease of conversion labor (effort), hydrostatic stability), I need to keep the weight of the motor and batteries as light and low as possible. (There just isn't enough space for the recommended 8D, 12v batteries)
There is a need to "bank" several 6v batteries (totaling 36v) to run an electric motor which will power a loaded displacement hull (approx. 4,000lbs) and has a water line length (depending on angle of heel) of 20')
With the increased number of batteries, connections, and cable length, is there added concern with regards to uneven charging rates, battery life, risk of catastrophic failure brought on with this "split" configuration?
Even with "plug and play" systems being available from several manufacturers, this still has the feel of an "experiment".
Thanks in advance for your informed opinions. John
