Thanks for all the tips! The frame is in and the motor and controller go in today. I’ll post with an update. Here’s one additional idea I had which has already proven useful: I lined each side

Only paint the sections that are hard to reach after the electric install. You'll need grind and to glass in support for your motor and other items, and then paint your fresh installed items.

John, Those are great ideas, My seacock was frozen so I capped it at the thru hull but now I will replace it then cap it before I go in the water. I love the anchor wash idea. Anyone else have

Lee,I would suggest putting a proper sea cock on the thru-hull, so that when you find something you do want to use it for, you can connect to the sea cock and just turn it on. I had a somewhat

Hi Ryan, Perhaps I am lucky but I will be able to use the above waterline wet exhaust thru hull as another cockpit drain. My cockpit has a ridiculously small drain 1 inch I think and would take a

Thank you for all the suggestions! The diesel is out. What a messy exercise. So many unnecessary holes in the hull now. Much work to do.

Good time to replace it with a dripless unit. [email protected]> wrote:

Consider a ducting system to deal with the warm breeze coming off the motor and controller. We direct ours down the bilge, which is permanently dry now for the first time in decades. Cheers Mich

Also keep all the pieces of the old engine you might be surprised at how much you might get for them. Rgds Peter

One of things that I did as a safety concern was to have the fuel port removed and glassed in.? I had this nightmare of someone attempting to fuel the boat and dumping gasoline into the engine

Ryan, if you have a sailboat with a lead keel consider connecting the ground to one of the keel bolts.

Gee the only thing I can think of is maybe put in a little muffin fan or something to give you some circulation keep it a little cooler I might be easier to set up with that cabins empty

So my appointment with the crane to vanquish the Diesel engine and begin the electric install is on Monday. I plan to clean and paint the whole engine room. Any tips from those of you that have done

Hi, this is my first post, but I enjoy reading your discussions about electric propulsion. I am looking for a recommendation on trolling motor power. I have a 10’ dinghy that eventually I will power

Similar to the people who used channel, I installed the controller on the heatsink and then to a bulkhead with standoffs to create an air gap.

Thanks everyone! This has been helpful.

The GEN4 is mounted on an aluminum plate offset by square tubing. I felt more comfortable with this set up even though i was not planning on using more than 50 amps out of my 48 volt lithium battery

Following the discussion with considerable interest as thinking about what engine(s) to fit to my future boat (a 34ft/10m cruising cat with a lightship displacement of 5 tons) which I plan to use as
