T-Pain Is On A Boat: Re: [Electric Boats] Gonna Try Direct Drive.

Re: [Electric Boats] Gonna Try Direct Drive.

I can certainly second that comment about James from Electroprop. I just started my 4th season with my PM-20 setup (one of his older offerings using an ME0913 coupled to a browning helical gear and sevcon gen4 controller. Once launched, I turned the key and quietly left the service dock behind. 3 years in and I still have nothing but good things to say about my conversion and James' guidance through the whole process.

This community is fortunate to have vendors like him and Mike (ElectricYacht) being such active contributors and taking the time to help even those that aren't ready to buy. My boat was a good multi-year sales cycle. The sales process starts long before the purchasing does. The vendors here get that.

Cheers,

/Jason

One thing for certain John, when it comes to boats nothing is ever cheap.
After much investigation & pricing, I decided to purchase a browning in line single stage helical gear drive. Final ratio works out to 1.75-1.
I looked looked at Baldor & Nord, Browning was a few bucks cheaper.

Also talked with James at Electroprop last week. What a knowledgeable man he is. Anyone out there that has the cash to pay full boat for a system would not go wrong doing business with him.

Once I get the install complete I'll post a couple of pictures.

Hi Bob,

Interesting when scaled up. The same economics in a sense in
trying to maximise the serial efficiency of an electric
propulsion system to maximise range for the least cost.
