Defender is a reliable vendor. I would buy my RIBS and motors for my Island Pilots from them.

Re: Has Anyone Put an Hour Meter in the Electric Propulsion system?
I added a cheap meter from eBay or Amazon, mostly to fill the hole where the old meter was. It accepts 12-80V I believe so I just added a small lead from the contactor so it ticks away anytime the key

Re: Has Anyone Put an Hour Meter in the Electric Propulsion system?
I agree with Myles that there may not be a practical reason for needing an hour meter.But I do think it would be a very nice to have feature.
On my diesel boat, I track the hours and fuel levels in

Re: Torqeedo
Back when I was deciding on an electric outboard motor (2021), I found Torqeedo to be overpriced compared to what I settled on (ePropulsion).
On the ePropulsion website you can find approved dealers

Hi All,?
Extending my offer (again) to anyone interested in checking out an electric sailboat. It will either be on my boat, an O'Day 31 (details below) or an O'Day 35. The 35' has an a Waterworld

Where should an hour meter go?
What's the right spot in an electric propulsion system for an hour meter?
Which component(s) do people feel are most important to track usage time?
This is likely something simple to do, and would

Re: How does the Curtis F4A controller calculate battery state of charge (SOC) ?
This sounds a bit misleading to me.
Yes, with lead acid and with some Lithium chemistries, particularly Lithium Ion, measuring voltage alone can give a good indication of SOC. Having said that,

Re: How does the Curtis F4A controller calculate battery state of charge (SOC) ?
Lars,
Battery voltage is usually used alone to calculate SOC for lead acid, which
explains why you don't have a hall effect sensor. Yes, I would say the BDI
number is probably the same as SOC for

Re: How does the Curtis F4A controller calculate battery state of charge (SOC) ?
I have a thunderstruck kit also but using the dilithium display. I have a

Re: How does the Curtis F4A controller calculate battery state of charge (SOC) ?
Is there a shunt sensor on the negative terminal of the battery? It would need that to be able to count amp-hours.
