Electric motor for sail boat
Our 34 year old Yanmar diesel died a few years ago. She took us on an amazing adventure on the SF Bay. We looked at all the options and decided to repower with electric.

We installed it ourselves and are extremely happy. We have a range of about 10 miles at 4.5 knots. More if we go slower. Since we only use the motor to get in and out of the marina, it works out great.

We are mostly day sailors on our Newport 30. We could not have made a better decision. We plug in at night to recharge. Our engine is from Electric Yachts. We call it Tesla sailing.
