Electric boating is becoming more attractive every year. The distance you can sail is getting longer every year, the technology is getting better and it is becoming mandatory in more and more areas. The number of people that we see switching to electric sailing is continuously growing.
Not everyone will take up the challenge, but this do-it-yourselfer will. The combustion engine has been dismantled and the batteries have been placed on the existing foundation. The Pod Drive is installed on the sail-drive foundation. It helped that the included booklets were quite clear. Also, the main cables had a clear color coding.
How's it going? The power of the Pod Drive seems to be sufficient. At full power, the sailboat reaches 6 knots. The fact that you don't get any feedback from the engine takes some getting used to. Fortunately, ePropulsion offers a clear display so that you can still keep an eye on the vessel.
