[Electric Boats] Doing conversion on Contessa 26. Need direction!

 

Hi. I have taken my diesel engine out of my Contessa 26 sailboat and am now intent on installing the 36v 2.6Kw Yamaha Golf cart motor I bought off Ebay.

I need to:

1. build a mount
2. hook up a controller
3. create the interface between the motor and the existing prop-shaft.

Any ideas? I would really like to see a photo or a video of all the parts (excluding prop shaft if necessary) so I can get some idea whether or not I can grab "any old controller" or what is the difference between controllers?

I think I understand the basics... like 36v @ 2.6Kw = ~70 amps.

Will I need gear reductions? or will I be able to run direct drive to save space?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

All the best,

Mike
