RE: [Electric Boats] RE: Electric power for over 30'



I've converted a 36' Islander to electric using an Etek motor. Still
working through several issues but we are day sailing using this setup now.

Subject: [Electric Boats] RE: Electric power for over 30'

Hello everyone!
I know there must be a thread for powering sailboats over 30' with electric
motors. Can someone direct me to it?
My sailboat is a Cal 35 Cruising. She is of 15,000 lbs. Displacement.
I think this project would need around 35 hp. She has a 4-108 Perkins of
'Claimed' 50HP hahahaha!
Anyway, with what little I know about this, I would need a bank of about 5
Golf Cart Batteries.
I also want to utilize Solar Panels as well as a Gas Power Generator.
So let me know how screwed up my ideas are so I can get an idea of where to
start here.
Thanks
