Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions on this issue.
Some things that were not mentioned is that this Cal 35 has a "V"
Drive which puts the prop drive shaft very low in the engine area.
I have seen some pictures on this site that appear to use the V drive
transmission and some not.
Here's my question:
Should I use the V drive or just try and mount the drive unit of the
electric motor directly to the driveshaft?
Thanks

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
