Re: [Electric Boats] Aloha from Hawaii

 

Justin,


We are introducing a new 10 KW electric drive which would work well for your boat.

It is based on the Perm 156W motor, at 92% efficiency, this is one of the most powerful and efficient motors in its class.

Additionally it is water cooled, so will run cooler, which also adds to efficiency under load.   The Perm 156 W is a dual stator, permanent magnet, brushless, 3 phase AC motor.

The drive will feature the Sevcon Gen 4 controller with Clearview display.   The Clearview display will output the motor volts, amps, rpm, temperature and torque, the controller temperature and the battery voltage.  

The motor will be coupled to a Browning Heavy Duty Gearbox capable of 550 pounds of continuous thrust.   

It will run on two 48 volt battery packs (8 batteries) to keep currents below 100 amps per battery pack, switched with two contactors.    A third contactor will switch a water cooling pump based on the winding temperature of the motor.

Release information on this new electric drive will be posted on the Propulsion Marine Website or you can contact me directly on my cell at 805 455 8444.    

We will also be releasing a new 48 volt DC generator, a new 48 volt joystick operated solar pole, and a new 48 volt battery bank equalizer, a 48 volt watermaker, and a new 48 volt windlass lineup.    

Regards,


James

Hi Justin,

Welcome!  Since you are in Hawaii, you might want to get in touch with the ASMO Marine distributor there. His name is Ken Harrington and he is in Maui. Here is his contact info:



Be sure to look at all of the options available. You're boat is not out of the range of electric propulsion, but you may need to alter your thinking a bit about how motoring on your boat works. It's a great way to go, and I am sure you will love it.

Welcome. I converted to EP using an ASMO MARINE THOOSA 9000 system four years ago. My boat is 30 foot has an 11 foot beam and weighs 16,000 pounds. So you should be able to find a system that fits your boat.

Subject: [Electric Boats] Aloha from Hawaii

 

I am new to your site and coming to you from Honolulu Hawaii.  I am the owner of a Formosa CT41, a 45' sailing ketch.  The original 50hp diesel motor has failed and it is time to choose a replacement.  I am really drawn to the quieter operation of an electric drive.  In addition many of the outer islands in the chain do not allow the use of fossil fuels. 

I am very confident installing a system myself.  However I am new to this format and still learning.  Any suggenstion or comments are very welcome.

FYI  39" at the water line 45' overall, 12' beam 9,000lb full keel,  It is necessary to navigate about a mile of a narrow channel to get to open water.

Justin
