Hi King_of_neworleans,
Your low cost conversion is impressive, the quotes I have received from vendors have been "considerably" more than your total outlay,even considering their DIY options. Yes, there is a certain peace of mind when considering a turn key system, and I have not yet established my budget/peace of mind ratio yet. Where did you purchase your components (motor, gearbox, controller, charger)? I have found various EV vendors online with parts you can mix and match (if you know what you are doing), which I don't. Of course those parts are not necessarily intended for a marine application, mostly designed for two and four wheel projects. I have read quite a bit about flooded batteries on sailboats and the "complexities", how are you managing the "acid" spills (if any) when heeling. and what about the Hydrogen off gassing? Lots of questions I know, Thanks for any additional information.
-Scott
