Re: [electricboats] Supplementary electric power for heavy old sailing boat

You'd have to be able to swap between the diesel and the electric motor on
the drive shaft, otherwise the electric motor would act as a giant
alternator when running the diesel and that would greatly decrease the
efficiency of the diesel. If you have regen set up, it would however charge
your batteries rather quickly.



Hi Matthew,



Would you plan to somehow disengage the belt to the pulleys when using your
diesel motor?
