Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Beneteau First 26 electric conversion

 

I have a 10K Thunderstruck system that I purchased over the winter. I didn't buy the reduction kit. The thought of installing all the weight on a single piece of angle didn't appeal to me. I'm constructing a mount that is similar to what Lynch uses in their "Marlin" system. It will give me 4 points to mount to the existing stringers & allow plenty of adjusment to line up the prop shaft.
Personally I like the idea of a folding prop. One of the compliants I see is the whining noise of belt reduction systems when motoring. Does the system create the same noise when sailing, I don't know. Maybe someone could chime in on that. I like the quiet of sailing so I'm not sure I'd want to hear that for the sake of a little regen.

The old engine and wiring is already removed,
I'll use the opportunity to give interior a thorogh
clean and get rid of the old engine smell. 
I have a fixed propeller and prop
shaft from when I bought the boat, I might test it at some
point. I was curious about regen because I've noticed my
Gori folding prop folds "over-centre" and will
keep rotating if I stopped the engine in while neutral under
sail. I suppose it might fold in if I put any load on it
from trying the regen.
I found this installation
online utilizing the thunderstruck hardware and reduction
gear, I suppose it'll work, but it looks odd somehow.
The installation pictures I saw on the thunderstruck website
seem to be without rubber engine mounts. I'll get their
opinion as suggested if I end up purchasing from
them.

@Daniel Michaels I'm very
interested in knowing more about your planned
setup.
