Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric Ericson 27 Long Beach California

 

Congratulations, and welcome to the dark side!

Eventually you might want to get a second bank the same capacity or a bit bigger, for a reserve. A small electric outboard or a big trolling motor are good backup propulsion. I carry a spare motor (two, actually) and a spare controller, and I can swap either one out in a half hour. Make sure you have plenty of spares for all your fuses. I just blew the fuse in the circuit that energizes the main contactor coils and the assembly was made in China. The fuse is probably a common one there, but not here. Luckily I was able to wedge a common AGC fuse outside the fuse holder contacts, and it works. Another mini-lesson re-learned for the umpteenth time.
