Electric Boat Engines
Mark,
There isn't any excess electricity. The generator will produce on demand, just*as the alternator, on your engine stops producing*when the batteries are fully charged,*the generator will stop producing*electricity when the motor doesn't require any. *
After we have been*motoring for a couple of hours, and the solar panels are getting plenty of sun, the tachometer sometimes*goes to zero*because there is no field current getting to the alternator. To start the tacho, I need to add*an additional load - turn the interior lights on or an invertor.
