Ewan: how is your conversion progressing? Ours is working perfectly and meeting all expectations!

Hi,

Any performance data to share?

Dan and Ewan,
We’re in the infancy of considering a repower. I know what I’d do if we go diesel, but would to pick your brains re: electric and the systems you chose. You up for some discussion? ☺
Thanks!

Evan,

No worries – as an FYI, my project has stalled out for a bit while I conduct other more significant repairs. I will, however, be back at the boat on the 24th for 12 days of hard effort!

I’ve had to change my motor configuration (I have an electric yacht quiet torque 20) so that it fits where the v-drive used to be. I’m fairly sure the batteries are going to be happy in the bilge, above the keel, but I haven’t got there yet.

More to come!

Ewan

Happy to help.  Starting from ground zero, I was “hands on” during the whole project.  We’re really pleased with the results.

Dan,

Anything you can share about performance? Range? Etc?

I’d love to do a writeup on the site!

Hey Ewan. How’d the motor fit in the v-drive space? I’m hoping it worked…about ready to pull the trigger on the QuietTorque 20.

Hope all is well!

My wife and I have considered this as well. I would love to hear about anyone’s experience with an electric motor on a P424.
