Go Electric

[Clemens Schmidt]

After exchanging my Yanmar 4JH4E with a Waterworld 20.0i I made my first experiences with an electric engine. It works good! The 20 kW (27 HP) is enough to get the boat off and into the marina. I have three 6.8 kWh batteries (LiFePO4) only for the engine that give me enough capacity for a half day cruising if the wind goes down.

This is really interesting. I am wondering how it going 1 year on?
How do you charge the batteries?

Please keep us updated from time-time about your thoughts on going electric.
