Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric conversion almost finished

 

Congratulations! be careful testing on the hard. You don't want to burn up your Cutless bearing. Depending on your controller, you might be able to adjust throttle response / acceleration to tame it down a little.

No, I disagree with your alternator guy. 2ga is NOT too big. I use 2/0 on my boat, 48v system. It's not about the wiring burning up or that. It's about keeping line losses as low as possible. A golf cart doesn't have to operate at peak efficiency. It gets charged up every night. If it goes dead before the day is done, they just break out a fresh one.

First dry test run worked like a champ. It is very touchy though. Most likely because there is no back pressure on the prop. The alternator shop did a nice job on the cables. By the way he said they are way to big at 2 GA. He said his golf carts are running 200 amps and only using 4 ga. Setup looks nice and clean even the alternator shop thought so.
