I have been watching this forum for a little while and am interested in what is involved in converting my diesel powered sailboat to electric. This is a boat that weighs 10,200lbs, full keel sailboat. Has anyone done this boat before and can I see pictures somewhere. Pitfalls, what would you do different if you did it again. I primarily use my engine for manuevering but at times motorsail to reach a destination. Thanks for all the information I have already read on this forum.

Randy,
83 Cat 30 SRFK
Hull # 3357
"Effen"
Toronto, Ontario
