Fully Electric Lifeboat Conversion Solar Install (1180w)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2023
- In this episode we install our GoPower! Solar panels and start wiring the electrical system. We have a fully electric lifeboat conversion (including our engine) so we need a lot of solar and this 1180w gets us off to a good start!
Thanks for joining us on our process of converting a former ferry lifeboat into a fully electric liveaboard boat. For the most up-to-date information visit us on instagram ( livingonalifeboat).
Thanks so much to GoPower! for gifting us this solar set up. They in no way asked us to say anything specific, so all opinions are 100% our own.

Wish to see more videos on UA-cam. I was totally behind y'all at the beginning.but Videos have been few and far between. And this one here was just a little snow. Can't wait to see y'all getting motivated and adventuring.
Love to watch all your progress 🦊😎🦊👍
I had a Go Power 3kw PSW inverter and used it for quite a few years. It performed flawlessly. Customer support was stellar as well. You should be in good shape with the setup.
Hi twin
HI @@dannyclark131 There were two Danny Clarks in my battalion in the service. That got quite confusing at times. ;-)
Such a BIG project! It´s lovely how you work together. Congrats. I´m eager to see it once you´re finished.
Looks good guys !
Cheers from white rock Bc
I'm interested in doing this eventually. Maybe a couple of years. You young people are marvelous. Love to see projects like these. Can't wait to see that beast in the water with your new electric motor. If possible, could you explain how big your battery bank is? How many amps will the motor run on. I see that you have a 12 kilowatt motor and you have a 1180 watts solar panels. How many hours will it take ti charge this battery bank? Thank you.
Man, you guys been at this a while now. Cheers good luck.
Awesome! Looks amazing!!!

🤠👍
Hi I love what you are doing . How did or how are you going to get it registered? Every one I talk to they just come with a bill of sale. That will not work in Maryland.
Looking good. Are they 100W panels?👍🙂
Hey they are 190 watt panels :) Your build is looking great btw!
This MAY be an uninformed question - it APPEARS that the switch between the solar array and the rest of the charging system is cross-wired... seems ODD that the positive and negative source wires do NOT "line-up" on the two sides of the on/off switch. OR, is it the nature of the (presumably) rotary switch components to line up "crossed" when turned ON?
It’s just an odd thing with the rotary switch I definitely did a double take when I installed it!
:)
What ever happened with this project? Is it still on going? Is it finished? Did you guys give up?
Boat is 90% done just no time for UA-cam unfortunately… We live aboard and love it! Hopefully at some point we will post again if nothing else just all the finished systems
Looks like they gave up, boat refit causes most to dump their boats
Boats 90% done we live aboard just no time for UA-cam between working on the boat and both of us having full time jobs…
Wow, you guys sure know how to drag out a conversation. I guess it's a good way to get free stuff eh?
