Converting to electric
Any boat with a reasonably sharp bow, smooth stern and space for
the batteries would be suitable for conversion, including motor cruisers, yachts
(auxiliary engine) and day boats. Some larger, wide-beam boats would need so
much power and so many batteries that it would not be economic to convert.
Various parts are needed to convert.
The work would be done by a boatyard. Once
converted, keeping your batteries charged is
straightforward.
The cost of conversion
is very variable, but if your boat is registered on the Broads, you may be
eligible for a grant towards the cost of conversion.
To find out more you can see boats that have already been converted and
talk to their owners. For more technical details, you can download PDF documents
