Thanks! I've been watching their channel for a while. Some good info there!

No worries, Kenny! Been blowing nicely here in the SF Bay so my 80% is working out for now. Just let me know whenever you get around to it!

I've wondered the same thing, Grant. Nice to hear back from another Ericson owner from the Bay Area!

Thanks for the reply and all the info! *I've also been away and haven't been able to sign back in until now. Great to hear about your battery plans! It is after all a sailboat and all I'm looking for is something to get me in and out of the harbor...and maybe turn on occasionally when it gets...

Thanks, Kenny. Not anything I'm going to be rushing into, just looking to get as much information as I can at this phase!

Thanks, Mark! Looking forward to reading!

Thanks for that, Bob! How many knots are you able to get using the electric?

Wondering if anyone has converted their Ericson (or other sailboat, for that matter) from Gas/Diesel to All Electric? Christian Williams and Solarken have commented on this briefly in another thread, but -- as Christian so wisely requested -- it's probably best to start a new thread on this...

By the way, I just noticed your signature line. Says your 32-2 is All Electric? I've been looking to make the conversion and would be curious to hear about your setup, in terms of solar/wind, motor, controller, batteries, etc. I currently have four 100w solar panels kicking out 13.7v into a...

Hi! Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find a used 140% (or similar) rolling-furler genoa (36' luff, 16.5' foot, 33' leech) It's the one that you can see in my profile picture. Perfectly matched to the vessel! Unfortunately, it was in sad shape and had to be replaced with an 80%...

Thank you, Christian. Measuring burn rate sounds like it would be the most accurate. Only thing is, that depends on the throttle/RPMs, and I'm rarely ever consistent with my throttle. Just depends on the wind, currents, and so on...
