Well I have a 23 ft power tri, using bits of a sailing tri I built 40 years ago and found in a NC field. 2 years ago.
I found a deal on a complete Elco 20HPoutboard with all parts and 4 12 volt batteries.
I am currrently working on it.
The Elco controller has a 120V plug on it to charge from a shore current.
I want a small solar set up to charge the batteries directly. Since I have solar on my home would be solar anyway just cutting out the middle stage LO>
Did a small 10 ft cat with a renology panel to chage the motor ( 50lb thrust trolling) and it seems to work.
The 48 volt system you show, would seem that 2 panels and a contoller would work for the Elco. In south FL sun is no issue and I would probably on use 1 or 2 days a week so even if Had to disconcte the batteries from the Elco controller to charge would be no hassle
I have contacted them. Ready to gamble the $500.

Posted the link separately. I have an 18' custom built (1934) launch that was converted to 48V electric by the second owner. I am the 3rd owner, and my plan is to add the golf cart system to trickle charge. When (not if) I put an Elco motor in, I'llprobably upgrade to the newer (higher Amp) system. For now, the old system will allow me to gain experience.I hope you can find the sale page via the link. I had reached out over a year ago to see if the charger would work on the boat, and the sales guy (Seth) has stayed in touch, which is how I found out about the sale.On May 9, 2021, at 2:50 PM, trikini2008 <trikini2020@gmail.com> wrote:Lots of stuff on that site, can't find these though.

The panels and controllers are available for 36, 48 and 72 volt configurations. Since I have a launch with a surrey top, I've been interested, but the price was a tad high (about $1000). I was contacted yesterday that they've come out with a new product line that charges at a higher amperage and has more voltage from the panel. The kicker is, they are selling old inventory for a huge discount. The generic panel (48" x 36") was about $890. It is now $199. The controller is $99. Too good to pass up, especially since yesterday the pane was discounted to $299. Look up PowerFilm Solar. (No, I don't work for them or get a kickback). Just passing info on a good deal.
