We have converted our dinghy (Whaly 270) from an overweight (for us) Suzuki 9.9 EFI to a 5hp equivalent electric motor and a pair of lithium batteries.
We think this will work really well for us since we have an abundance of solar energy available. Was hoping to plane with one person, but the combination of short waterline and 5hp is just not enough.
Testing specifics for our setup and a few photos below. Full project report, if interested, is here:Electric Dinghy Conversion
