Tour of our Catalina 27 Electric Sailboat Conversion Motor, Speed Control, and Nissan Leaf Batteries

We converted our Catalina 27 Sailboat to Electric auxiliary power. This is a tour of what the new motor and battery looks like. Check out my other videos to see how the boat cruises with the new motor and the process of swapping out the old diesel.

Great final install.
If only you gave real important details. How much did the original engine, fuel tank weigh? How much does the new Electric Motor plus batteries weigh? How much did all the new components cost total? How long can the batteries power the motor at various speeds? You never detailed each component from thunderstruck.
You just showed them but never really gave a detailed item list.
Throttle switch as an example?
Was it from thunderstruck?
Did you buy it separately?
I watched all your conversion videos and still don't know important details.
Sure hope you do a follow-up video telling us all the stuff we really wanted to know.

*I like it. Do you have any Idea how much HP you're getting out of that motor?*

Super cool. What bearings did you use for thrust? Have a link to them?

That is a really nice configuration. Well done.
I have a question, with motor is that and with your 100amp Battery, with is your autonomy, I know depend on current, wind, and boat weight, but for how long you can use this motor, with this battery full charge?
Thanks a lot, I am now refitting one 28foot sailboat and I like to put an electric motor. :-)
