No, I have not, mine electric motor is installed as a conventional inboard. You are probably right about boring the stern tube hole, lots of people do it. In the "early days" of my build I was...

One other thing to keep in mind with an electric install for a boat that will be kept in the water is the increase in the electric systems needed to support a permament charger that will be plugged...

I would think installing any inboard in a boat that never had one is quite a chore, since you would have to bore the shaft tube. Have you looked at any of the pod type electric engines? My build...

Thanks. I figured the motor was AC.

Brings up an interesting question about ebikes that I have not considered, surprisingly so since I own one. Are the motors on ebikes ac with an inverter, or just DC motors?

The other thing to keep in mind about buying a raw motor and doing your own system is the housing and thrust bearing needs to be well designed and built. That would likely be as difficult as any...

They definitely got sponsored by the company. They were upfront about it and did not make out that it's was easily affordable. IIRC it was an Ocean Volt system, not a cheap option at all, but very...

Yea, but .3 amps at 48v is a 14watts, that's quite a bit.

I think I paid 4K for mine. It is a full kit, controller, throttle, motor, battery fuse, switch, control panel, solenoid, mounts. Of those, the controller and throttle would be the most...

I did that, and now have a dilemma. Apparently they had a customer up north whose boat had blisters after being covered with snow for a while. They were able to reproduce the problem in the lab...

Ha, I see that system three is now removed from their website.

How do you know they are discontinuing it? I am painting my boat with it as we speak. It was marked as out of stock on their website, I had already painted my cockpit area and wanted to use it for...

For my new build I chose Electric Yacht, electricyacht.com. Motor and everything is installed. Will be splashed this summer, so I can't give you any performance data. Fairly simple install, but...

Two eyelets on either side of the frame, a hook on the center bottom of latch. It rather easy to figure out how to open it from inside.

Joe, here is a good Sofia Loren story: she donated a ring to the Catholic church in LLano, TX to help it raise funds to build a new church.

I used a shock cord on the inside, quite easy to open from outside or inside.

I certainly give Scot the boat for the BROTM.

And I will take this time to express my sincere gratitude to Scot for all of the years he has managed this forum. He has done a great job and its...

Thanks guys, it's been great so far. This thread just adds to my joy.

Holland's point on the difference between communism and fascism was very well made.

I watched it, fascinating discussion. One may disagree with some of Murray's politics, but one cannot say he doesn't make you think. Holland was truly brilliant. Meyer held us own just fine. As...

One of the obscure tools I once bought was a Klutch manual pipe bender:

I have used it quite a bit on my build e.g. I just...

Compact 23 might come close to your requirements. Never sailed on but had a friend who said they were dang good boats.

I have started a reread of Paul Johnson's History of the Jews. I read it a couple of decades ago, and have gotten out as a reference book many times over the years, I thought it was a good time to...

Such a shame. She was always my favorite member of the band. Really big fan of her. Very talented musician

Boris Johnson has escaped from Elba, has landed in Cornwall, and is marching on London.

I will heartedly endorse The Rest is History. It is currently my favorite podcast. A lot of fun and good information.

Haven't read the whole thread, so if someone already made this point, I apologize in advance. I find this kind of refreshing. Unlike here in the US where the party must become a slave to the...

I just did a quick measurement of headroom. Measuring of course from the cabin sole, and to the beams, I have about 52" at the fore of the cabin and about 56" at the fore of the sliding hatch. ...

I am building a Roan Mhor. Projects been taking longer than I thought, but I hope to have it launched late next summer.
Interior is completed, it does not have standing headroom, but it does have...

Ya think

I would like to hear some of our British friends comment on this, as this is not how I see it at all. Parliament pretty much as been supreme since the reign of James II. Afterwards, Kings and...

I read a really good biography of her dad. She came from good stock. And as much as I think her dad was a great man, she was every bit the great woman.

Just towed to a shipyard in Galveston last week for some much needed repairs.

I agree with Keith. I think certain constitutionally protected protests are very bad, but should be protected.

As to the Jan 6th, it went from protest to insurection when they stormed the...

I agree with this. It just gives us what we want. It's horribly destructive, puts everyone in an echo chamber. I go out if my way to follow and pay attention to people across the spectrum of my...

Agreed about Charles. There is every reason to believe he will do s auperb job.

For sure, I was simply limiting my examples to England.

Except for Trump, I bet she liked most, if not all, of them. Excepting Nixon during his second term, and of course Trump, our presidents have largely been likable.

No, Keith, they really don't even have that great of a track record since then. North Korea anyone? China? How about those Warsaw pact states. Or let's look at Central America or Africa. I...

Drivel? For every successful Republic you can name, I can give you 5 disasters.

Thanks Andrew, I suppose he just likes showing he has no superstitions.

See my comment in other thread on the monarchy. Suffice to say, I am positive the Brits would be bonkers to get rid of the monarchy, if you see no role for it, you just haven't paid attention to...

Look, I don't want this to sound like I am not proud of our Republic. I am very fond of it. But we need to admit we kinda caught lightning in a bottle. The overall record of republics is pretty...

Very good news.

As for Charles III, I expect he will be an excellent king. May he lead your nations with the same dignity as his mother (and grandfather).

I should wait a bit before posting a bit of gallows...

To all of our friends in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth of Nations: You have lost a truly great leader. She served you all with great dignity and grace for so long. She has been a light...

My son-in-law's grandfather, wrote a book 20 or so years ago, claiming the Tasmanian Tiger is not extinct at all.

Ok, in the old days before TV there were radio shows that were like tv shows today, dramas, comedies, etc. They had actors reading the dialogue and reasonable sound effects. These were still on...

Where is it difficult to register to vote? Around here, it's impossible to imagine any dealing with the state government being easier. We moved counties a couple years back, registering to vote was...
