I'm going to be looking for a junk outboard to use for an electric-repower project soon.
The end result needs to be a 3Kw or 5Kw 48V setup that will power a 3,000 sailboat hull that will be used for extended river cruising at 4-6 mph.
I know that I'll need a larger than the normal 6 to 9.9HP that would normally power this boat to ensure durability of lower end components with the torque of an electric.
What is the range of long-shaft outboard "cores" I should consider? I would imagine 15 at the lower end as big as they make a long shaft at the upper end, but would appreciate any input.
Are there some types or brands that lend themselves to electric conversion better than others?
Thanks.
Greg Murphy
