Re: Question about bus bar safety
Thanks, Tommy.This is THE way to do it ! By the pro's. But not many ordinary boat owners would do so...;-(

Re: Question about bus bar safety
You could do color coding with electrical tape. In high voltage ac panels will have at the terminations red, orange or yellow wrapped on the wire to identify high voltage. You could just make a legend

Great info in that thread from Boatdesign.net but no conclusions for smaller vessels (<12T). Most of the links in the thread are old and go to 404. But still useful stuff. This stood out in the Mike

Re: shaft couplings
Hello, I used this type of flexible shaft coupling. It's very easy to install and align. I still have vibrations but pretty sure it's either the cutlass, shaft or prop. Or all three, will try to fix

Question about bus bar safety
For those of you that have 12v systems and 48v systems, is there a standard or convention for making it really clear that a given bus bar is 48v or 12c? Mine are in very different places in the boat

Re: Ang.:Re: [electricboats] Material Choices and Thrust Bearings
Carsten, That would actually be a great idea!? Not likely to a huge scale, but there are a few of us wanting to use a good thrust bearing / thrust plate solution. I would certainly buy one that was

Re: Ang.:Re: [electricboats] Material Choices and Thrust Bearings
The double spherical roller bearing from grainger looks fine.Even a smaller bearing than the shown will be fine for your 12KW motor... I found an old thread in boatdesign.net. Please see reply #6 from

Re: Ang.:Re: [electricboats] Material Choices and Thrust Bearings
I will just give an interesting other point of view. Not sure if I can really recommend it, but for me it works. When I bought my boat it came with a 55hp yanmar. On the shaft just behind the gearbox

Some more on thrust bearing specifications... My boat came with a Volvo 23HP diesel and a Walter RV-10D v-drive that contained the thrust bearing. The Walter RV-10 is specified for 2HP/100rpm or 48hp
