Hello all. I am a new member and will be converting our Catalina 30. I want to keep cost low and develop the system as needed. I have been researching the archives in this group which has been a great help - thank you. Currently my plan is to get the 10kW kit with gear reduction from thunderstruck and a 200Ah LiFePO4 battery system. This should give me towards 2hrs of running time. Eventually I want to add a generator to create a serial hybrid.
I have some experience as an engineer working on control systems for power generation. I also want to sail so I want to return to a functional boat as soon as possible. My plan is to get the basic system running and see if I can develop a monitoring system that gathers performance data over time so I can tweak the prop and gears if needed.
Any suggestions for installation - components, placement, sourcing - is extremely welcome.
Cheers!
Willem
