Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Hybrid w/Honda 2000

 

My Honda 2000 only runs 1/4 throttle with a 10 amp 60 v charger. Going to a Honda 1000 or knock off. Just because they are smaller and take up less room. I now have my solar panels hooked up. Six 50w panels each charging its own battery. Chances of using the generator now are slim. But just in case!


 

I can move my 16,000 lb 30 foot boat at 3 knots with just my NG-1 battery charger with no problem. I'm not even maxing out the power output of the Honda to do it. You should have no problem with your boat using the Honda 2000 and appropriate battery charger/power supply. I have found that I use the Honda more for battery charging at anchor than for hybrid operation. In nine years only once did I actually use it for a 40 mile stretch on a windless day and it worked well. I chronicle it here: ELECTRO SAILING AROUND NEW YORK: PART ONE
