I am in the process of evaluating EP instead of a Beta Marine 38hp for a VIA 42 aluminum sailboat. The long term plan is to sail around the world, but the nagging question is, are the systems reliable enough?
For those of you who have done the conversion, would you be comfortable cruising for a few years or 5?
Have any of you been dead in the water? What failed?
The current idea is Electric Yacht 20kv, 400ah LiFePo battery bank and DC genset.
On a steep learning curve and just looking for things to think about.
Since it is a metal boat, are there grounding issues with the motors? Are they all isolated ground or is that something to deal with?
Anyone know if Keith Redfield's Aja is still going strong? No updates since 2012.
Thanks,
Greg
