Re: [Electric Boats] New member, developing electric outboard

 

Hi Andy,

Sounds as though you've identified a need and are filling it! Low weight and high torque and good motor cooling in a reliable mechanical package and you'll have a winner, IMO!

Are you gearing/propping the outboard for pushing or high-speed planing? Long shaft?

If you have two of them as pushers, my vote would be for a medium-sized (e.g., 10m) cruising catamaran, and an exposed transom-mounting would be preferable to show off the unit. With a cat you'll have plenty of room for clients to view the motors in operation, get decent performance if the cat is slippery, and show off the silent docking ease with two motors.

Are you running off 48v or something higher? AC or DC SepEx with regen capability for sailboats?

Best of luck to you and your company.

JoeS.
