[Electric Boats] Re: New member

 

Hi Kjell,

27 foot sailboats seem to be a sweet-spot for electric repower. I have an Ericson 27 with a SolidNav Explorer installed and wouldn't have it any other way. You should be able to search the archives here and find some real life electric boat experiences.

Good luck with your repower whichever way you go.

Now when it is wothout an engine I have to choose between a diesel (maybe a nasty word to print to this group) or an electric one. I definately lean to the electric one but will actually have a look on a Volvo Penta D1-20 installation tomorrow. Sorry.
