Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
Does your current bow trolling motor mount on deck? Maybe you could do something similar for a second motor at the rear.Or maybe you could find or fashion a kicker bracket to mount on the sloped aft

Re: Current cell prices?
Bob, I was rewatching your video assembling your 48 volt pack on your boat and had a question regarding the 12 volt cell grouping. I see blue stripes on one end of each 4 cell group. Are those in

Re: Current cell prices?
I see similar price at BatteryFinds: https://batteryfinds.com/product/eve-105ah-lifepo4-battery-cells/ $65/cell but that includes shipping.? Good energy density at 170Wh/kg. But it look like those

Current cell prices?
I was looking around and found EVE LF105 3.2 LifePO4 fo $60 per cell, 16 cells for $960. This is a company in Georgia USA. Good price? What are you all currently using?

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
I was just watching some YouTube vidieos on this. I fly R/C giant scale and 2 meter pattern planes so I’m familiar with the APC props and have a few different pitches in 10 and 13 inch. looking at

Re: Advice for electric conversion
I converted my 25HP Tohatsu outboard to electric just over 20 years ago. Since, I have been running with an original Briggs and Stratton Etek motor. The mount is fairly simple with a thin quarter or

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
One thing you should know is trolling motors are designed, not for primary propulsion, but to control the boat at slow speeds. Their props are pitched for slower speeds and more torque, not

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
My max range requirement would be 10 miles total one way in a rescue situation and that range would be more than enough for the electric lakes.? The speed is not a big concern, reliability and range

Re: Advice for electric conversion
This is the approach that I'm taking. I have dual ME-1616 motors and dual 120S saildrives. I plan on using 0.5in aluminum plate, reusing the existing spline welded to a new jackshaft that sits on

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
My friend has a Torqueedo on his Macgregor 25 and it does well. It might do 10 miles at mid throttle. I have an epropulsion spirit Evo on a small pontoon boat on a lake in Canada. It’s great . We do

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
I have used a Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 for the last 6 years. I have it pushing an 18' home built catamaran with solar panals on a canopy. I find the Torqeedo is very efficient for a cruising speed of 5

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
I've played with electric outboards a little bit. One experiment was using a 48V Torqeedo on a Catalina 22 (compared to your boat, a little longer, maybe about the same weight?).? ? From my notes,

Re: Outboard Sizing Help Needed
I think the motor I have would meet those requirements well.? ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo.? With the low-pitch prop, 6mph should be achievable on your boat. They make a smaller version (3.0), but I

Outboard Sizing Help Needed
I am back with more questions for the group. As you may recall I did this build, /g/electricboats/message/31909 with your help and wanted to let you know that this system is still

Re: Advice for electric conversion
Ric, Can you tell me about the process of mating the motor and saildrive in your current setup? Did you use all off the shelf adaptors? I have a 120S I would like to add an electric motor to. I can

Re: Advice for electric conversion
When I yanked my diesels out of my cat, I was planning on belting the electric motor to the shaft of the sail drive gearbox. After some thought, I pulled out the sail drives, glassed over the holes

Re: Advice for electric conversion
That is correct Reuben. The Starboard side has a new Beta 38 with a new sail drive which is working out very well. When I converted the old port VP sail drive I had not known the input had to be

Re: Advice for electric conversion
It seems you want to mount the motor vertically with a connection to the vertical shaft of the stern drive, eliminating the gear box? This makes a lot of sense. I assume you still have a diesel in

Re: Power in and out of battery bank
Matt - Could you expand this a bit please? I think I understand your reply but there were a couple other questions posed such as whether the situation of simultaneous charging/discharging is more

Re: Power in and out of battery bank
Mat is correct but… there is no need to shut anything off. What happens is if you need a lot of power for the motor both the solar panels and the batteries will try to provide it. If the motor is
