If I understand correctly, you want to use the design of long tail boats
like this, but you want to switch from a gas engine to an electric

Re: long-tail boats
Hi,?
Sounds like you have a sail boat and you need to have an extra long shaft to reach below the water. All motors? are standard long shaft or short shaft. Or you can buy a pod type that mounts

If it doesn’t need to be lifted out of the water permanently mounted a pod is the best solution. Even if it does does need to be lifted out a pod may still be the best solution can be attached to a

Re: Floating PV Hazard Potential?
This is only to charge batteries on a 19-foot, open, day-sailing type sailboat. Mounting options for solar panels are limited and the possible ones detract from the boat's form and function. This just

Re: Floating PV Hazard Potential?
Is this a test for using solar panels on floats to charge boats, or are you
experimenting for large scale usage? Sorry I missed your original post.
For a boat, I would think it would be much better to

Re: Floating PV Hazard Potential?
I expect it only a remote possibility, but if anyone has interest in DIY-level floatovoltaics, I will report after two seasons of experience with my battery charging system. To review: This is a

Re: Recommendation for Charging 12v House Battery from 48v Bank
Unlikely with MPPT since they typically require an input voltage 5-8V more than the battery charge voltage.? Both your lithium and AGM are 48V.

Re: Recommendation for Charging 12v House Battery from 48v Bank
This is interesting. So would this work?
I have a Lithium 100 amphr 48volt bank to run motor and a 48vlt 160amphr
agm set which was original bank used for testing.
Can I use an 48 volt victron mppt

Re: Recommendation for Charging 12v House Battery from 48v Bank
Makes total sense. Really helpful post, thanks. I currently run my 12V off the 48V bank but your solution ring-fences the 48V for motor energy. I think I’ll do the same.

Re: Recommendation for Charging 12v House Battery from 48v Bank
Using a power supply when there is a battery connected is not the right solution. A power supply works great on circuits without batteries delivering perfect voltage. Once a battery is added, then a

Re: Recommendation for Charging 12v House Battery from 48v Bank
I had the same issue. I have a 48 to 12v converter, but they say not to use it for battery charging. So I ran a 50w solar panel for that one battery. I am researching if I can put 48v into the solar

Re: Recommendation for Charging 12v House Battery from 48v Bank
I have a 48V battery bank and a 12V house. Been running this setup for 4

I use an MPPT (Victron SmartSolar 100/20). Connect your 48V battery to the
MPPT PV input. The MPPT
