    With this information, it seems possible to buy a similar boat, remove the mast, keel, rigging. Then add 5kilowatts of solar which should allow cruising at 3-5 knots indefinitely and power ever thing on the boat. Wow!!

There’s a business supplying the cooling plates alone.

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?

    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

    • @slightadrift
      @slightadrift 2 месяца назад

      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 😊

    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?

    • @slightadrift
      @slightadrift 2 месяца назад

      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!

    • @Miguel_Molina
      @Miguel_Molina 2 месяца назад

      @@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!

    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!

    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.

    • @slightadrift
      @slightadrift 3 месяца назад

      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 🍻
