Hola como calibras la wind direction?
Well thought out. Smart move going with a 48v system. Love the cooling plate. I’m having trouble getting to seal the cooling plate I purchased with my motor controller and I’ve since bought one on alibaba which looks roughly like yours but time will tell what dimensions it is when it turns up. There’s a business supplying the cooling plates alone.
Outstanding, extremely detailed explanation of your installation. I've been looking for a something like this for some time now. I'm presently putting a ME1616 motor in my Westsail32. I'm programing the sevcon myself (challenging) and haven't bricked it yet. have you had a chance to motor in rough seas yet, and if so how does she perform?
兄弟 我有一個好建議 請你把Onewheel向後傾斜20度較準或比20度更多 不要以水平較準 你會有不同感受 youtube上幾乎沒有人介紹不要以水平較準 這類Onewheel and hoverborard我認為水平較準是錯誤的 來自香港的問侯
Thank you 👍
I like it, excellent engineering knowledge with both person
Why not byfocal panel
Just found your Chanel. Just bought cal 39 sailboat. I'll do what you did. Thank you. 🎉cheers.
Hola, me gusta tu proyecto, necesito ese kit de cooling para la controladora del motor, donde puedo conseguirlo? thanks
How are you getting on with the SARCA ? I have a SARCA number 5 and it keeps dragging, especially in a 180 deg wind shift
I like your esk8 content!
Hahahah. Awesome
Listing left maybe the batteries
Hey there, just watched your electric motor install series. I had a lot of questions, but mainly about repairs. If a diesel engine has issues, some research and repair parts should be able to get it back to working. Does that work with an electric motor? I have no experience with electric motors, and am curious how easy it would be to service if it quit the middle of the Atlantic ocean etc. Thanks
The only thing you wood need is spare belts. Electric motors have much less moving parts and way simpler systems. I have done absolutely no servicing in the years that I’ve had this electric motor. You could have a spare throttle sensor that’s already calibrated to your specific system if you were really worried but you should be good 👍 If you were to get an electric motor setup, you’d quickly learn what spares is a good idea to carry… and it’s not many 😊
@@slightadrift Sounds legit, appreciate the reply!
No worries 😊
Has the fan come on? How hot is the new motor?
this is crazy. ive been riding my pintx for the last two years, and i nosedived once, and always feared the top speed since then. I've lived with just cruising arounrd 16km/hr, but always had that need for speed. I ordered the tynee stinger almost a month ago (custom) and its getting here in a couple weeks. So this video is great for me to stumble on! QUESTION for you, do you find it easy to learn an esk8 coming from a onewheel, or is it a whole new thing to learn?
Yeah man! When I came off my one wheel , I thought I must have been going too fast but it was ecu failure. Those electric unicycles have the same thing and they can go SO MUCH FASTER! Eskate: Your balance will definitely translate. I’m sure you’ll be fine. I’ve broken a lot of belts so now I always ride with spares and a tool to change. The eskate has its own dangers BTW. Fastest I’ve been is 45km/h and I had a belt blow at that speed. I felt it go and was fine but at those speeds it did change the boards ergonomics. I think the potential for harm might be greater on the skate because you can go so fast. For this reason I tightened the trucks up a little to be more stable at high speeds, but speed is within your control The only thing I think of that could happen (but never has) is when I’m going down a hill, especially a steep one, and using the board to brake i just think, what if the board was to either shut off or break both belts. Then I’d turn into a cruise missile It’s unlikely…. But so is ecu failure on a onewheel. Something to keep in the back of your mind. Enjoy!
@@slightadrift that’s awesome to hear it will translate over! I’m not a speed demon but I know I will try. I’m gonna definitely tighten up those bushings. And for the belts, I’m glad I did the custom order! Tynee has now released the helical gear drives which eliminates the belts. So I told them to install them for me! But you can order them from the site and they have an installation video on how to do it if you are interested!
Top notch sailing channel! Jealous of your life together! Do ya know any 55+ lady's that are good cooks & would like to see the world?. 😂 P.S. What type of boat is she? I have a 36 Islander. 🗽🇺🇲🙏🤞⛵️🏴☠️
Great job
Cheers mate!

Great video! That coffee machine looks awesome. What brand and type? Always looking for ways to have a cuppa that tastes good while on the boat!
It’s called a robot by cafelat. They’re a bit pricey but I’ve only changed a few silicone gaskets in about 6 years. I’m hoping it’s the last code machine I’ll ever buy. Makes cafe standard coffee 👍
@@slightadrift awesome thanks! Love watching your channel! We’re in Pittwater if you’re ever down this way. Tayana 42 Kaitlyn 2. 🌞
Hey have you tried out your regen, I'd love some idea what you make on the different settings, I've just emailed Tully about an electric conversion kit for my boat, thanks for the sweet vids 😊
Hey mate! Regen vid coming up soon 👍
I think that the OCT looks nice, and I know they put a lot of work into it, but I can't help but think of a bath tub when ever I hear something hit it. It has that dull "donk" sound plastic bath tubs make
I love it!!
Please follow up with a video "ONE YEAR of sailing fully electric, the GOOD the BAD the UGLY" :))
Great idea!! Will do 🙏
Is that dinghy from NZ mate? Looks like one I saw on Gone with the Wynns when they had theirs made there.
Yup same company . They’re great!
Cold showers 😱. That is brutal. You really are walking the EV walk and not just talking the talk 😉. I’d have caved and bought a genny
The thought of having a cold shower is way worse that the actual shower, if you can believe it 🥶
Sharks rock! It's great that you've got your crew so well trained too! :D
Beautiful area!
Oh spectacular!

It's Slight Adrift video time!! Yisss!

Another spectacular video. Love your work. 😊

Great footage Tymon! Port Stephens is one of the many gems of the NSW coast.
Totally agree!
absolutely ace stuff !! I'd love one but haven't got the £40 odd K they seem to sell for in the UK handy.. What is the music playing 0:35 - 1:35 ?
40k!!!!!! What tha?! That’s hectic. Cheers for the comment 🙏 music.th-cam.com/video/uFPHKa5HteE/w-d-xo.html&si=LyJ407Ik_IftHC5h
Nice install and cool video!
Thanks mate! I am a subscriber of yours! I’m doing my best to be trimaran for the next boat. Cheers for the comment 🙏
Thanks for sharing. I went electric 4 years ago, have a 550ah bank, but i went induction motor with a curtis controller, which is my only regret. The sevcon seems to be much easier to program with better tools and service, plus a PM motor would have been smaller and more efficient. I've also not been able to get regen to work. Regardless, I actually use the motor more now than I did the old diesel, for all the reasons you say. I have 1.2kw solar, so get unlimited range at about 2 /2.5knts. Trying to find space for more solar to increase that. It's the motor sailing that it really comes into its own though. People just don't realize how great it is, in light winds with a sail up going at 2/3knts and being able to add another 2knts for free!
That’s frickin awesome! Team electric 🙏
Hey, really enjoying your vids. I've also got a 37ft electric sailboat and have been using a carver surfskate as my main transport onland, though anything more than a couple of km and uphill just doesn't cut it. So been debating ebike/skat/scooter. Think you may have sold me on the skate. Out of interest what trucks does it have, could it be worth swapping out the front truck for a surfskate truck to make it more carvy? Also what boat is that, you seem to have so much room for a 36ft.
The trucks are double kingpin. I wouldn’t swap the trucks out for something more carvy, I actually tightened mine up. You need a more stable setup if you want to go at higher speeds. There is no way you’re going 40+ km/h on a surf skate. But, depends what you want the board for I guess. Thanks for the comments mate. My boat is a lavranos 36ft 🍻
I am seriously struggling to find any wall mounted 3kg washing machine in the UK. I was originally looking for a Daewoo Mini but they seem impossible to get. So I was very excited to see this. I followed your link for this one and contacted the supplier. Who was really helpful and gave me a link to their French distributor. But they were 750€. Is that right? Or am I just being a cheapskate 😂j
Wow that’s way too much! If that link is no good keep searching alibaba for a 3kg washer. The dryer part is useless. Look for suppliers that have been operating for the most amount of years then check reviews. I’d say 200£ plus postage is heaps. Hope that helps 🙏
@@slightadrift Awesome. Thanks so much. I’ll keep hunting!
Thanks Tymon! You are the master of laconic understatement!!! Best short I’ve seen this year! Thankfully the memo to be a twit on social media missed you by a full hemisphere. My daughters think you are my hero… They may be right. Keep on keeping on! 👍⚡️⛵️

Pros and cons, I live in a 36ft bus in the US. The Meepo voyager has served me well. 30mile range means I only charge (on my solar) once a week. I have never run out of charge on a trip with the voyager. The 500wh means I can carry weight (groceries) with no problems. The tynee would make a good spare but not practical.
Absolute solitude mixed with total silence of calm sea water, cooking meals yourself. Man, I love it/ AND ... there is no stinky smell of any walking c@nt or any joyous sometimes crying loudly five-year sperm@tozoid. It is also my lifestyle.
