If you are still in the building / design phase, maximise your roof space to allow the largest area for solar panels.  Allow lots of space for cable runs.

Have just joined the group and any help gratefully received.

I have sailed extensively on sailboats but now, due to old age, am building a 23' semi displacement powerboat (very similar to a Devlin Surf Scoter) which is designed for a 60 hp petrol outboard. I would love to power by electric means only as I hate petrol and noise.

An electric outboard would be preferred to keep internal space maximised, but inboard systems could be used.

With the 60hp outboard cruising speed is about 8 knots and maximum is about 18 knots. I would like to maintain those speeds.

Having done a bit of web research, all systems seem very expensive and I am prepared to try and build something from basic components if necessary although my electrical skills are limited.

I am in the UK.

Any views/comments/assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Chris Harnan
