budmorevolts...you have no idea!!! Picture this..the Solo 6 in the Casey can stop the boat from 5 1/4 knotts in 20 feet!!! Now you are comming in to the fuel dock, for ice and beer of course, and

Yes smaller batteries can be used and as you would expect...the Brushless DC motors are almost twice as expensive with regen, sealed and thrust bearings.

eklatek...yes..we converted a 58 ft Narrow Barge in England to diesel-electric hybrid. It was 38,000 lb displacement and did 6 1/2 mph with one of our Electric Wheels and an 18" three blade prop. In

Does anyone have experience in converting a 65' houseboat to e-motors?

Thanks for the info Bud.I was looking at the fact the Ray put out approx.200# thrust but obviously the trolling motors must be propped for max. static thrust and drop off as rapidly as speed rises.re

ewhel,<br><br>Thanks for the info. I like the idea of the regenerative motor. What is the cost difference between the "brush-ful" and brushless motors. Additionally, how much smaller of a battery pack

That Casey of yours, does the silence of the propulsion system attract comments? Must be a blast to motor by the fuel dock without stopping.<br>It would appear the The only fossils on your bay are in

If you want to go electric..take fossil fuel HP in boat and divide by 4 for electric equivalent. If you want regenerative feedback from prop the most will come from a brushless DC magnet motor and

Kirsti,<br> Many of the inexpensive chargers have a bi-metalic thermostatic device called a klixon mounted close to the diodes to protect them from over heating. If the fan helps then you should be

Larry,<br><br>This is great info, thanks!! the theoretical hull speed of my boat is about 7 knots and the boat weighs 14 tons. I am looking at about two hours of motor time between charges. I will

Where to start? For what it's worth, here how I would go about it. <br><br>In order to get something like the same horsepower as your current diesel you will probably need a motor in the 12-15hp

Kirsti,<br><br>Thanks for the welcome. It makes me happy to know there are people in the world willing to help. I was wondering if you could give me a run down on some of the decisions you have made

Hi Gary,<br>Been offshore,just catching up on news. Regard the 100 lb thrust motors, not sure of the model you refer to but we have been using a 36 volt Motor Guide on our 15ft. Black River Skiff. Not

Greetings fellow members,<br><br>It sure is a confusing task, this e boat business. Just remember, we are not the first generation of e boaters. <br><br>Lets look in the "1909 ELCO Catalog" reprint

James,<br><br>I may have some experiences to share. I have embarked on a similar quest three years ago after the diesel on my 29 Ft Cal failed. Not wanting to settle for a replacement diesel, I

Welcome, welcome!<br>Read old messages, and you'll see that I'm fumb'lin' in the dark also.<br>The good people in this club have pointed me in various directions, to interesting sites.<br>...The more

I'm very new to electric power but not to boats. I'm now living in Deale and would love to come down sometime and check out your system. <br>I have a 35' and I'm quite interested in the diesel

Hi,<br><br>As a new menber and researcher by nature, I've been reading all the old post. First off, let say thanks for starting this 'club'. The only thing that I would like to add concerning

All,<br><br>I would like to take out my old diesel 4-154 (53hp) engine and install an electric motor. The boat weighs 14 tons and I will be removing a 60 gallon fuel tank and a very heavy engine.
