Re: [Electric Boats] High Voltage in a canoe

 

Water and electricity is always bad mix regardless of voltage and AC/DC real electrocution danger is from the multiplication of voltage and amperage.
Fortunately there are many good and proven ways to keep the two apart. Just need to do it all properly and do not do any insulation / watertightness comprising short cuts, and there should not be an problem.

I have a Torqeedo 1003 travel electric motor that I use on a Precision sailboat and a flat back canoe , a spare lithium ion battery cost $699, I have a couple of long trips planned with the canoe and am suffering from " range anxiety" . Torqeedo recently approved charging the battery while underway with a "house battery",

I have a AGM optima bluetop battery with a Samlex 150 watt pure sine wave inverter to run the Torqeedo fast 80 watt charger, I ordered a Heavy duty, in-line fuseholder for ATC/ATO type fuses. 10 gauge wire for up to 30 amp rating. My question is am I in danger of being electrocuted by running 110 power in a canoe with maybe a little water on the floor?
