Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Conversion

 

I converted a dual screw 41 foot Chris-Craft.  See info here: http://www.deny.org it does indeed turn on a dime. Not that I don't still bump the docks every so often. 

I used Electric yachts motors, I probably have a thousand nautical miles on them of which over five hundred of those miles were put on this last year.  

The rest of the system I designed and built myself.  My first recommendation is to figure out what size and voltage battery you are thinking about, then the other components will be easer to recommend. 

If you are planning on a high voltage battery pack, your choices for motors and chargers are total different from 48 volt low voltage systems.  

You basically have three options now a days:
1, Low voltage battery 48 volts, with a Montenery style 48 volt motors. 
2, High voltage battery 96-300 volts with automotive style motors like a salvage Tesla motor. 
3, Or A Low voltage battery 48 volt with large inverter(s) and VFD driven AC motor.

Each has advantages and disadvantages.

If you haven't already, look at eTolly. They've fully converted a Tollycraft 30 with excellent results, so you should be able to just do what they did. The YT channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRq6B3I5iQdaU_ePXfMD9xA.

Good luck,
