I like this - a Vesc controller. Where did you get the Throttle?

Hi any chance of knowing what make of motor you are using and where from as I'm looking for one 10kw to about 15kw ideally 24v . Thanks

Very good explanation of the steps involved in the process , thanks. I’m preparing to do the same on my 31 foot boat with Volvo diesel from 1975.

😮u guys r cool😅

What was the make of heater ? ……is it still working?

Great video again, look forward to watching your next adventure.

Hi Bethany when are we going to see your boat sailing? Shame not to use it

That was great. I was interested in the mast ladder, I didn't know they existed. I have a 5M boat and it can be a pain to lower the mast to do work. I'm not sure how they are used though. I'll have to research them more. I look forward to more adventures you do.

Maintanance is very important but i hope you don`t fit another spark plug😉.... And who has an spark plug on a boat with a diesel engine? Very nice video and a nice boat!

Whoooooosh!

Very Nice Nick to see your boat. glad to see you're still posting videos Bethany.

Nice boat Nick

hi, how tall are you/headroom. Thanks

Hi all, apologies for the background noise in this video - I put some foam over the mic this time to try to block out the wind noise but there still seem to be some strange whooshing sounds! Hope it's not too distracting.

Enjoyed the video, looking forward to the next one.

Lovely conversion, would love to know how it is holding up now three years down the line (and if you would have done anything differently if you did it again?) - Currently building a similar setup but using two 10Kw brush-less (water cooled) motors instead as my boat is a bit heavier. Just posted the first episode on KZbin of the motor housing design if interested. Keep the good videos flowing:) Thanks!

Thanks this was super useful, about to install into our steel 48' ketch and the last one I did was just sat outside in the cockpit whenever we needed it which was way too ghetto

Vegan and sailing what`s not to like? And now days it`s so easy to go vegan on a sailboat with things like HUEL for both food and if you like protein .Happy sailing!!!

Sending you so much love and hugs 🤗❤️🤗

Nice video! How is the solar and batteries holding up?

You need some wheels on your dinghy 😉

Hi neighbour ( just bought a boat 2 pontoons over from you ) glad to see you back

Hay we were part of your beautiful morning view at Oxwich aboard Yacht Crystal 😊 Happy sailing ⛵️

Glad to see you back filming and posting. Funny I was checking the other day to see if you posted anything. I was held up doing work on my small boat because of weather. We all get there in the end, to where ever we need to be.

Nice to see you posting on here again-....... Interesting video - Thanks

Thank you for the great video! How much did you end up spending on batteries in the future after this video? Are you still using that same motor?

🖐️👍👍👍

Would be cool to see the arduino schema . Loving the huge savings you made. What did you for the voltage/current limit on the board?

I like my air cooled 168F Chinese diesel. It's much cheaper and lighter than electric and it charges a battery well. The dry heat is welcome.

How long would the crossing take if the boat is using engines? 5 hours seems like a long time to cover 25 miles

Bethany - You have become quite proficient and comfortable with your boat projects. The editing is more succinct with less rambling. Keep up the good work. And Summer will come!

What is your cruising range on electric?

Well done!

Hi super I am a mumbles man and have sailed to combe loads of times and your trip is typical of 75 percent of mine and my brothers. We are mumbles men and have one of the last boats on moorings at mumbles it's called Ostreme and is nearly the same as what you sailed on

Bethany, that will make living on board much more comfortable. Like you we chose to draw dry (ish) air from the outside rather than circulate damp air inside which electric heating does too. We find it take a couple of days when getting back on board if the boat is cold until heat reaches all the nooks and crannies, then the condensation reduces. Your yacht is coming along nicely as a home and nice one Nick for giving the installation a once over.

They quiet down once they warm up. You'll need it... guna be a cold winter! Are you a full time live aboard? My cheap 2kw heater is still going strong on its second winter

Thanks for sharing . . . I'm awaiting my diesel heater - it should arrive on Monday or Tuesday. I still have to cobble together all the proper bits for installing on my sailboat - so, this project will take a few weeks to complete. I'm still figuring out how I will be running all the ducting and air intakes and exhaust - I'm thinking of 2 vents - one near the companionway steps and one in the area of the head and v-berth. That should keeps thinks nice and toasty and dry. I'm keeping my Dickinson Newport wood burning stove just in case.

A great job I agree, I've been looking at doing the same, I have a small trailer sailer leisure cabin cruiser, not a live aboard I wish to stay in overnight occasionally. Looks to be plenty for what I need. Thanks for sharing.

I fitted one to Aquarius last winter. The chinese ones cost less that a service on an eberspacher. I ended up spending considerably more on the parts (exhaust, fuel line etc) than the heater kit. Its surprising how many people dont fit a relay in the circuit and damage switch panels.

Great job. You seem much more confident and experienced now. Enjoy your new adventures (in a warm boat, I loved my Ebersbacher)

Is it a Vevor? It looks the same as mine.

What type/brand is the motor?

Well no shortage of fine looking fresh vegetables, probably organic as they can’t afford anything else. Yummy pastry. Can you get tahini? As a place to overwinter in a boat, it must be the least expensive, and no doubt putting her ashore would be equally cheap. Sure you could salvage a few parts for your electric set up from those scrap cars.

My experience is that sea toilets are a horrid to clean and maintain and use…and they smell. Composting toilets are actually miss named, they don’t compost (well not much) they just dry out the solids. My simple bucket and chucked toilet was fine. I lined with a compostable bag. You only use for #2. Throw in some dry material after each use, sawdust, dry grass, whatever. On land, it goes in a bin, at sea I first put a stone in the bottom of the bags so it sinks . What surprised me was no smell. Of course being a guy , separating #1 is no issue. Gals, try getting creative with a suitable jug, my daughter managed it.

It would be so much better if you could avoid complex electronics. Trams used to have just a series of switches to control the level of current (voltage?). On a yacht you don’t need that fine a control. Maybe just a slow and a fast for forward and astern. Mind you I don’t know how you achieve this.

Covering your flimsy plywood with a heavy layer of grp May be a good diy solution, without having to outsource a metal plate

Hi we live on a boat too x we don't have a freezer and only have a small camp fridge x

What controller did you buy and where?

What is the theoretical maximum speed on this?

Great work. Electric is the way to go!
