Electra-gal Will be there too.

Any special reservations for a newbie? Or do I just need to make a slip reservation. Just coming over from Bainbridge.

That's great to hear. Maybe we will see you on the water this weekend.

I'm also in Olympia. I was able to get a new prop for my E-27 from these guys: http://www.propshopltd.com/ They have tons of stuff in stock. Give them a try.

If you have a Mac there is an app called GPS NavX. It's $59.95 and works great.

You know it's funny. Our boat is in dire need of new sails. We only have a very old out of shape main and a 75% jib and we have been passing boats all the time. I can't imagine what it will be like next summer with new canvas.

I love the look of the boat. Especially the beige anti-skid decks. It's good to see people saving these boats from disrepair. There is a E-29 in the slip across from me that has not moved in 2 years. I want to steal it just to save it from its owners.

Steven, It is a All Power portable $200 generator purchased from Amazon. It would sit right behind the tiller. I would not recommend it for everyday. I just got it to make this trip. If I were planning on doing a lot of long distance sailing where I thought I would need to use the motor...

The total cost of the project including everything: batteries, system, new three blade prop, cables, 48V charger, misc hardware, shipping was $7,200. I put in one bank of 100 amp Lifeline AGM batteries. I am drawing 20 amps at 4.5 knots of boat speed. I have a 2000W gas generator that we use...

So I just finished installing and then doing a Bellingham to Olympia shakedown cruise with the Electric Yacht motor and controller. I am not a representative of this company, but I have to say it was a real good experience and the motor has been amazing. I have posted a lot of pictures at...

This has been a great help. Thank you all so much.

Anyone know where I could find a new 3 blade 12x10 prop for my E27 and what is the shaft size?

My boat is currently 200 miles away and I need to know what size three blade prop I can put on the original shaft. I am trying to save myself the drive. I need this information so I can get the correct set-up from EY. If anyone could help me with that I would be oh so very grateful. Thanks

E27 Electric Yacht System This is all great information. I am installing an Electric Yacht System 180i in my E27. I will post pictures of the refit.
