WOW! I just had an incident where wind, rain, and tides proved a bit much for my Volvo diesel to push my 30’ sailboat back to dock and resulted in a very fun sounding *BOOM* and no more starting. I was looking for various conversions and found your first video with the chain drive, I am so impressed with your incredibly simple design. I’m an automotive engineer so I was thinking maybe a Honda 1.8l or similar, but this simple electric conversion is awesome! Obviously not going to reach speed boat speeds but who cares, it’s a sailboat and I’m loving the electric motor. Good job!
Thanks
Thanks for making this video Phil, really helpful and full of all the detail required to help others who are interested in doing the same.
Thanks for watching !
Wow! Great information :-) thank you so much for doing all the hard work and sharing it. Keep it up I can't wait to share some of my work with you based on some of what you've taught me thank you so happy to stumble upon your channel
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you... I've got 3x 2000w motors setup on my 35' sailboat (not tested yet but maybe this weekend) and 100ah 48v lithium bat. I'll let you know how well/bad it works when tested.
That’s so cool I would love to see how you did it
@@philcostello6989 email me... I'll send photos and videos
Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
awesome build, is exactly what i want to do but i cant find the belt and pulley kit. where did you buy the belt and pulley? and could you add the dimentions of the pulleys and belt?
McMaster car is online industrial supply that has things when can find them on line but the is a co called electricscooterparts.com/
These guys were good and had what I needed
what is making the noise?
these things should be silent.
I know it’s loud though the clicking has resolved lol
Great video Phil. The gearbox on my Volvo Penta 25hp has seized and I am considering changing to electric. Your setup is the easiest to fit that I have seen. I imagine I might need a bigger motor though. My boat is 30ft steel 4.5 tonnes. Any recommendations?
Hey Alex, my boat is a flat bottom sharpie with less than half your weight my guess is you would need probably a 10 KW motor there several suppliers out there that have kits .electricyacht.com/product/quiettorque-10-electric-motor/ I would Google electric inboard conversions and scour all there installation data and sizing data this is just one of them. That would be my first step. Then I would join as many as possible groups do in board electric conversions to see what types of problems people are having .
@@philcostello6989 Thanks for the tips 🙂. Merry Xmas
Don't think bigger engine for speed , think pulley configuration for more speed 3:1 instead of 2:1 ..
I just got a 1.25kw trolling motor 24v on my 53ft steel narrowboat ! Works beautifully ! Though I am inland..
So, what exactly is the draw to convert to electric drive in a boat? What is better about it than using an engine?
For me it charges by the solar panels so never need to carry battery’s or gas back and forth to boat and it’s also great when you need a little assist to turn if the sails aren’t balanced well the electric motor turns on and of with no effort
Hi Phil, Great project! Do you know the dimension on the motor shaft?
I’ll do one better the motor drawing is on electric scooter parts. Com It shows foot print you could just print it
Where did you find the belt pulley to go onto the My 1020?
I was able to purchase the pulley at the website. Electricscooterparts.com
I purchased a belt from them and I think I also purchased a belt from Granger or McMaster car. I’m not sure which one came from which. Granger and McMaster car are industrial supply catalogs now they’re actually online.
@@philcostello6989 Right on I appreciate the response great work man
How many amps are your batteries and what is the range?
I have a breaker set to 50 amps amp I drew close to that at max speed if I accelerate to fast it will pop it still working on soft start setting so I can't make that happen. At 3 knots its about a third but I have to collect some more data on that to know for sure its hard to see the digital read outs in the day time Sun
Thanks for watching !! are you working on a project too?
Oh I miss read the question 80 ah 12 volt batteries in series I got the standard lead acid deep cycle
I would say about 10 miles at hull speed most likely more but I'm still trying to work it out
Any suggestions on what size motor needed to power a Maxum 2800 SRC ?
I would think you would want to start with the first power of the original engines I did a video call tales of speed power and torque which was kind of how I came up with sizing my motor before you pull the trigger on an electric motor though you also want to make sure you size the batteries and realize that let us it would probably not be the way to go for a powerboat
Sorry it's called speed torque and prop pitch that went through how I size my motor for my sailboat I think it might be a good starting place to go through that process for what you want to do as well
What size batteries do you have and what kind of max speed and range can you achieve?
I have four group 27 Duracell that acid batteries that are 12 volts 80 amp hours a piece unfortunately what acid really handicap you on the range but for getting in and out of the slip it's fine the 80 hours has to get cut in half because I can't go below a certain level to maintain cycle life. And then there's a resistance cost you see the batteries are designed to be discharged slowly with low current the 80 amp hours is set for four amp hours an hour for 20 hours they give a rating of If you use 25 amp hours the battery only lasts for like an hour and 15 minutes so 25 amp hours depending on the current I'm usually between three and four knots so my range is about four knots. I think another people on this forum probably know a lot better than me but the equivalent lithium ion 48 volt battery is about 30 amp hours and you'll actually got a much longer life out of that if you buy buy it. For me this started as an experiment and it's worked out really well because really I just use the motor to get in and out of my slip I do have a backup gas outboard. But I've never had to use it. For any kind of range I would strongly recommend considering a lithium ion solution. The other thing for me is in my boat I needed to add ballast so the added weight of batteries just means I can take out more rocks LOL
All I have been able to get it up I have another video actually I have been able to get it up to about 5 Knott's but I don't think the battery will last more than half hour at that speed. And I was only able to do it once most of the time when I got it I can only get about four and a half that's knotts
Can you please include the name/model of the motor and controller somewhere? The ebay/Ali baba link doesn't work.
Thanks!
Sorry about that here's the link for controller www.aliexpress.com/item/33002881043.html

Did those work for you ?
@@philcostello6989 yes sir! Thank you!
@@philcostello6989 can you point me to the belt drive and attachments please
Which state do you live in? I just want to know which state has hurricanes and tornadoes in the same place I want to stay away from there :-)
Lol Connecticut when I was a kid it was just hurricanes to worry about but since my 20s my living place have been hit twice by tornados . Crazy 😧
Thanks lol

That’s the controller which part were you interested in sourcing ?
