where do you purchase these engines ? and how much
-
Nice🤓
-
The sound is different, yet I would be very interested as to the decibels with the engine (I have a perkins) and the sound decibels of this motor. Also did you attempt to use any damping materials for sound!
-
But look at all that dead space around that motor. I'd want it to be either batteries or a generator.
-
I calculate with 200 amp-hr at 48 volts the motor could run for 1 hr, at 10 hp (25%), if it uses all of the energy. Than you wait 4 hours to charge if you have power.

clean install

why lead acid? , so old school, use li-fe pho, one quarter the size and 1/3 the weight. no fumes and 20times the life, good idea what he did but much better technology is available now
-
What about waterproofness? If the engine compartment is somehow flooded will the motor still work when dried out or is the whole system gonna get fried?
-
Who makes the batteries?
-
Is this a brushless motor? It's sound so loud
-
I was a little surprised at how loud it sounded. I'm used to those damn Honda Fits about running me over in a parking lot because I don't hear them coming. I wonder how quiet this is with the insulated cover on?
-
Concern-hydrogen goes boom..all these batteries should maybe be vented after charging, during charging, and definitely prior to motor use...we don't see much original venting in diesel powered boats unlike where gas power inboards venting is a must have.
-
how much did it cost ?
-
I agree, this video was book but lacked a very important thing for us and that was price.
-
Ever since I watched Sailing Uma do this to their boat I have been trying to collect resources. Saving this video for later follow up.
-
Now what kind of solar and wind turbine system would you need to charge this? Along with everything else being converted to electric. ie. all electric galley, water maker, all electronics, air conditioner. water heater, pumps. And the dozens of other things?

In Part One, Jack Wilken of Seattle Boat Works describes the systems and layout of the new electric power system that has replaced the diesel engine. This is all in the old engine compartment, which on a Yamaha 36 is under the V-berth.
