When I had the same problem with the key, I used a "step key." A step key is one size on 1/2 of it and another size for the other half. That cost me about $8 at the local hardware store. Also, when I mounted the mounting plate (also from Thunderstruck), I mounted it directly to the old stringers. Motor mounts are to prevent the vibration of the engine from transferring to the rest of the boat, but the electric motor doesn't vibrate like a diesel engine. One tip I'll give you is to make sure things are coated to prevent rust.

it would seem that getting a different prop and/or motor would be a more efficient option than gearing it. I've heard it said it is more efficient to convert rotational motion to electricity, pipe it thru several hundred yards of wire, then convert it back to rotational energy than it is to run it thru a 90 degree gearbox. Now I know that's not exactly what you're doing but it's illustrative about how utterly INefficient gearing can be. Just better engineering on the motor and prop would yield pretty HUGE rewards in a marine environment

@neilfromclearwaterfl81 Жыл бұрын

Two ways to deal with the key-way and sometimes putting a step in the key is easier since its usually milder steel than the coupling. On the electric drive I have concerns with these kits that use an open frame motor so low in the bilge that will get salt water corrosion inside them increasing the chance of failure. That cogged belt can sling an awful lot of water from the bilge into the exposed windings of that open motor increasing your chances of total failure when you might need it the most. Elco uses totally enclosed motors and has been making electric inboards since 1893 with a good number of their original units still in operation today 130 years later. Their other division, General Dynamics, is well know for the electric propulsion systems they've been making over the past 100 years or so for submarines. Cost-wise both systems appear to be close pretty close and with the Elco you get a TEFC marine grade epoxy coated motor that spins the correct RPM without having to use a belt that can fail at the most inopportune time. Best!

The peace of mind is worth it. I put one on mine when the original motor was not working and I’ve decided to keep it just because of that. it’s always nice to have a back up

Broaches are not super expensive and you can order one from say msc and have it in a few days. The broach is the width of the key and a sleeve is also needed that is the diameter of the hole of the pulley. Once you have both in hand ideally you use a press to push it through but I have seen them tapped through with a hammer or a makeshift press improvised with a tight space and a lever of some sort. Keys also come in different sizes and even in 2 sizes - one for the shaft and one for the pulley with a little step there on the split line. Spending a little time with a file also works well as you found.

@BeauAndBrandy Жыл бұрын

yes, by the time we ordered the broach and such we decided the filing was the best route, we were on a little of a time schedule.

Your new mount should hold up well. A couple of tips that might be useful 1) for areas of high exposure to water (bilge) and that have any penetrations (fasteners), it is worth considering G10 or similar material as a choice over plywood for an encapsulated substrate, and 2) sometimes when grinding or cutting fiberglass or similar material it is easier and safer to keep it wet and clean up the slurry, than to deal with the dust.

While the sun might come out for a while, things eventually return to the normal rainy state in England. In other words, it returns to being right as rain.

I’m extremely allergic to chronically underpowered propulsion systems in Sailboats after Crewing on such boats that got stuck in some petty serious situations it was impossible to Sail or Motor Out of. Luckily dropping anchor and waiting for high Tide Slack Water got us out of Really deep Doodoo, and no Storm was incoming while we waited it out. My Next Sailboat, a 44ft comes as standard with an 80hp inboard Diesel for very good reasons, and my 10ft Tender will have a 6hp four stroke outboard for the same Safety Reasons .

Well hello there looks like you are having fun with the motor refit. One piece of information that most people don't realize and that is WD-40 isn't a lubricant. It's a cleaner. I would have used it to clean the shaft but what you really needed was a penitration lubricant like liquid wrench. But if you don't have any than yes its better than nothing. Liquid wrench will lubricate and penetrate the rust and what ever developed on there. Just spray it on drink a beer and after about 15 minutes it should be loose. If not smack it with a hammer than spray some more and drink another beer than it should come loose real easy. Beets 4 hours and alot of elbow grease. So I recommend keeping that on board. Just a little heads up. Great job with the motor. Myself I'm not a big fan of switching to electric. But I understand the whole save the world and solar power and no buying diesel. But my thoughts are diesel generates power plus and this is the big factor, when the electric runs out is usually when you need it most. But I do understand that electric motor is much more cheaper than a new diesel motor. But anyways great job. And yes you did a fine job of the fiberglass. Well see you next week. Oh yeah, I bet that was great fun filing that gear for the key way! Okay have a beer and celebrate.

you could always charter. don't let the work put you off, it so worth it. Also, you really only see about 1/100th of what we are actually doing out here. Its hard to share it all. We film the work, bc some may have questions. it is work, but so is owning a house or car, yes?
