I was finally able to get some regen from my system after a few years of trying. I was running with the wind doing 6+ knots and occassionally surfing down a wave and I saw a nice 3 amp bump on

Glenn, I'm interested in your budget. How much would a diesel re-power cost for your boat? Are you considering electric primarily because you think that it is a cheaper alternative to ICE? You should

Yep, regen rarely lives up to its promise. I'll say this again, I have not heard of any verifiable claim of generating more than 100W at 5kts boat speed or less. That's less than 2A at charging

Is regen that bad, I have similar plan (see other post) but will have limited batteries and wanted to recharge by regen. Would wind gen be better than regen.

I need to repower my 27' sailboat was looking at a diesel but electric has interested me. I have a strong mechanical background and some electrical experience mostly automotive and a little

Elco is located here on the east coast, NY I think, and is one of the oldest companies dedicated to electric boating. However, they have gone through many ownership changes and challenges with one

Electricity in California is some of the cleanest in the country, so you guys are probably in good shape for electric vehicles from an emissions per person mile stand point. Unfortunately, the rest of

David, The electric power from my local utility is confirmed to be more than 20% supplied by renewable sources. The largest coal powered plant within 300 miles was decommisioned in 2005. The bulk of

Respectfully, the EPA methodology isn't as foolproof as a single number can explain. Electric cars, unless they are being charged from a known renewable source, such as wind, solar, biomass, or hydro,

John, That is sometimes offered as a reason for better emissions but it isn't always the case, and whether it is or is not comes down to a ton of factors. On one end of the scale if the marina (or

David, I've been involved with electric car conversions for about 15 years, and I have seen the same emission arguments against electric cars. Some people have claimed that electric cars should have

On the issue of emissions, the whole point of plug-in hybrid cars is that the energy you get from the electric grid is generated more cleanly per kWh than from an ICE due to more efficiency in a

I don't have any more info than is available from Hunter or from a brief article in Sail: http://sailmagazine.com/boat-reviews/best-boats/hunter_27e/ I know I gave that last boat a hard time, so let

I just saw that the Hunter 27 has an electric drive option from a company named Elco. Anyone have more info on this?

Thanks for pointing that out, I just didn't explore their materials completely enough to find that spec. I believe my point still stands though and I think they've dug themselves a little deeper. To

I think one has to remember that it's a HYBRID, not an electric boat. Like a hybrid car, the electric drive is there for the "boost" and LOW speed.? It's not intended for cruising. It might come in

I have no problem with US Battery and they DO give you a lot of options.?? One of the things you want to do when setting up for golf batteries is that they are NOT all the same size.? Some are a

Hello, You may want to check out US Battery company. They have many dealers and there batteries are sized similar to Trojan battery's with many gulf Cart size batteries. I have used US Batteries to
