EVA has helped a number of sailboat owners convert their auxiliary drive system to electric. Typically, the conversion is to replace an aging drive system that requires major repairs or no longer as available parts. EVA has provided components for sailboats up to 50 ft in length.
• Electric sailboats have the following advantages:
• Minimal horsepower is required. A 6 hp (48V) system is sufficient for most sailboats up to 28 ft in length.
• Quiet. Something sailors thoroughly enjoy
• Capable of starting and running immediately. No need to operate for 5-10 minutes prior to docking..
• Ability to use a wind generator or solar system for recharging.
To help your EV project succeed from the start, EVA provides:
• Free Calculations based on your requirements. The calculations will identify the recommended hp, the voltage, current, and range based on a specific battery pack.
• Manufacturer's Data (Advanced DC Motors, Curtis Instruments, etc.) to help you understand the technical side of an EV conversion.
• A detailed System Quotation with each component itemized, so that the true cost is not hidden. If you do not need a specific component, you can simply delete its cost.
Once you buy our system, EVA provides:
• EV Installation Manual. This is a 1 inch manual identifying how to install each component.
• EVA "Safety First" Video. A 12 minute video showing how our truck was laid out to address safety issues. This was based on the “Safety First” technical paper.
• EVA S10 Conversion Video. This is a one hour video showing the conversion of our S-10.
• EVA Technical Assistance. After the sale, we still answer the phone. We are here to help you complete your EV and to help it run reliably.
