Re: [electricboats] Electric Drive Update

I did much the same. I used a Motenergy motor direct to the flywheel of a Farymann diesel I salvaged from a Westerbeke 4kW generator. At 3,600 RPM it didn’t get high enough voltage to charge. 


then I purchased a PMAC generator on ebay and belted it to the Farymann producing plenty of volts. Over the summer the Farymann froze up solid - so out she came. 


Next was a cheap gas “range extender” from AliExpress. It worked fine until it caught on fire. 

I assume that your Kubota is used? Or new? Is the Motenergy Motor  water cooled? My drive motors are water cooled so I have a closed circuit fresh water cooled by a heat exchanger using SES water and 2 pumps.
