If you own a sailing yacht with a displacement under 25,000 lbs you can easily replace your worn out diesel with a modern brushless electric motor that will be quieter, smoother, have more torque and require far less maintenance than a diesel. The rapid advancement in electric vehicle design and production has created a revolution in the transportation industry not seen since the car was invented. These advancements are now making their way into the marine environment with a number of manufacturers bringing online highly efficient systems especially in the area of displacement water craft.
Of particular note is battery technology. Companies like Tesla Motors are developing new battery chemistry that will store more energy, weigh less, and last far longer than sealed lead acid, AMG, or Gel batteries. The size of these manufacturing facilities and the volume of production will reduce the cost per stored kilowatt of these new batteries well past the break even point when compared to lifetime costs of any lead based battery technology.
I you are thinking this might be a worthwhile investment in your yacht I can help you find the right motor technology, paired with a properly designed, custom built batter bank that will fit your boat and your sailing style. I can also work with your marina/yacht mechanic to ensure proper installation. I you need recommendations for boat yards to do this work I can provide those as well.
It only took 13 years for the automobile to completely replace horses. The current replacement of internal combustion engines with electric will be even faster.
