Re: [electricboats] Electric Motor for 40' Sailboat

Good suggestion, Kevin. I believe it was a forklift motor.

Hi everyone,

 

I am restoring a C&C 40' sailboat on a budget, and I am planning on replacing the engine with an electric motor. I know some of the general specifications I would like, including Brushless DC, 48V, and 12 kW. Does anyone have experience or advice on repurposing motors from golf carts, forklifts, or other similar vehicles? I have briefly searched eBay and online motor catalogs.  

 

Any insight would be much appreciated.
