As many of us know, there is a popular misconception that electric boats are "experimental", highly sophisticated and too complicated for the average boater who just wants to have fun on the water.

My boat, just completed at the end of last season, is a 23 fantail launch displacing about 1500 lbs. LWL of 20. The system consists of a 36V Advanced A89-4001 motor rated at 6hp continuous, 2300 rpm

I have begun the long search for prices and specifications on different installations of my future electric motor.<br>Does anybody in this lively club have some info? <br>I've gotten a very fine reply

I had joined this club before I found out that no advertising is allowed. I was trying to get some history on a kit, but wound up putting it on eBay.<br>It is Lindberg kit # 811M, a 40' Sport

Aloha Gabriella..it won't be long and you too will sailing along gently generating enough energy to run the blender and whippin up some umbrella drinks. And I hope i'm there with you! I like to

Aloha -<br>I agree that a data base would help. I enjoy using the yahoo feature that lets you learn more about who is exchanging info - but I sure would feel more comfortable exchanging that sort of

I am still learning about the pros and cons of all the different electric systems available for electric boats, and was wondering what other people actually have in their boats and how they like what

la_monty..there is no rectifying necessary..they are 3 phase pulse width modulated..or a digital signal that simulates AC only with square waves. Effectively the controls are chopping up the potential

Thanks Dave, there IS a lot of info and selction of same. I used to retail Rutland wind generators (prior to rare earths) and liked the magnet/rotor/brushless design. But they gave an AC output

I thought I would pass this link along, the information on pulse aintenece technology seemed interesting. Has anyone had any experience with the 6v Golf batteries from Sam's club for ~$37ea?<br><br><a

Chris, a hybrid diesel electric system is much more efficient than a diesel only drive system because of many compelling reasons.1)parasytic losses in ancilliary pumps, alternator, associated belts

Bill, I cannot say that the motor is built with lesser parts. He uses brand new OMC lower units and quality PM motors, PM controllers etc. <br>I just know that he does seem to have some sort of

Can you expand on what was the problem with the motors? Was it poorly made, etc., or is there an inherent problem with the permenent magnet motor?

la_monty_au...yes we have turned the Brushless motor inside out...the windings are the stator and the magnets are the rotor...this means that they are neither commutated or brushed...infact the only

I don't think that this motor will be competition for the "Ray" motor anytime soon! I know of a few people that have owned a "resevoir runner" and didnt have it very long before getting rid of it

Chris:<br><br>I have also been thinking of a way to go hybrid, but packaging restraints are such that I will have to put the engine (probably an air cooled gas engine) in the forecastle of the boat. I

I'd like to get a thread going to discuss ideas and options for hybrid drives. <br><br>I'm interested in developing a larger electric proa for day cruising, and am intrigued with hybrid drive systems.

Dave, I understand 99% of the technical details on these pages, but motor details are sometimes assumed or i missed them. I am at home with alternators and AC motors and look at a DC motor as a beast

Chris...sorry for the lengthy explanation but I am not as good as I would like to think at explaining all of the nuances. You are right about the batteries...current in a parallel circuit is additive

As you can see from my past postings, that I literally build these motors and hope for the best! Mainly because I know no better...<br>Nock on Wood, I have never had a failure (or Fire) yet.<br><br>I
