With the company EVEA, the electric conversion of a boat involves the transformation of an internal combustion engine into an electric propulsion system. Here are the general steps to follow when performing an electrical conversion on a boat application:

Select boat: Choose the boat you want to convert to electric. Make sure the boat is suitable for electric conversion in terms of weight, size and structure.

Assessing Power Needed: Determine the electrical power needed for your boat based on factors such as boat size, desired speed, payload and range. You will also need to take into account the navigation conditions specific to your region.

Choose a marine electric motor: Select a marine electric motor of the appropriate size and power for your application. Marine electric motors are designed to withstand corrosive marine environments.

Battery: Choose a marine battery suited to your boat. Lithium-ion batteries are often used for boat conversions due to their high power-to-weight ratio and long lifespan. Make sure the battery capacity meets your battery life needs.

Controller: Select a marine electric motor controller that is suitable for your chosen engine. The controller will regulate the power delivered to the engine according to propulsion needs.

Battery Management System (BMS): Install a BMS to monitor and balance the battery cells, which will extend battery life.

Cooling system: Provide a cooling system to keep motor and battery temperatures at safe levels, as heat can be a problem during continuous use.

Installation: Install the electric motor, battery, controller and electrical components into the boat. This may require structural modifications to accommodate the new propulsion system.

Wiring: Perform electrical wiring to connect all components securely and functionally. Make sure the wiring is waterproof and water resistant.

Testing and adjustments: Test the system to ensure it is working properly. You may need to adjust controller settings to achieve the desired performance.

Approval: Be sure to comply with all local and national regulations regarding marine navigation and electric boat conversions.

Maintenance: Follow recommended maintenance procedures for the electric motor, battery and other components. Be sure to monitor the battery status regularly.

Electrically converting a boat can be a complex project that requires skills in marine mechanics, electricity and electronics. Additionally, it is essential to comply with local and national maritime regulations to ensure the safety and compliance of your electric boat. Also consider hiring experienced professionals to help you with this project.
