[Public-List] Electric Drive

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Looks like it's Annapolis Hybrid Marine who sell both Thoosa and Oceanvolt that looks like an electric saildrive system.

For the Thoosa, it looks like you need four 12volt batteries in series, I'm not sure the "run time" is suitable but I sure like the idea of quiet. I suppose if you're going to mostly daysail your boat it could work pretty slick.

I currently  have something wrong and am working with the seller who is no longer in business(one of my worries when I took the plunge). There is a yahoo group....electric boats or some such.  Most of them are do it yourselfers and a lot of their e mails are way above my knowledge.  I did install the thoosa  myself with a little help from a friend who welded racks to install the batteries.
