We have now had a Thoosa 6000 motor from Asmo Marine for 1 1/2 years and as we sail all year round we have covered about 3000 nautical miles.
Our experiences with the Thoosa engine is very good so I can only recommend to go electric as it has many advantages, such as low noise, low pollution, but above all and exceptional reliability. Another important advantage is the safety, in particularly in regards to harbour maneuvering.
6 batteries are placed in the keel, for better weight distribution.
Motor, motorcontrolbox, charger and 2 batteries are placed under the cockpit.

We have never experienced a starting problem as we did with our previous diesel engine. It also goes rapidly from neutral to full torque in both forward and reverse, and the shift from forward to reverse is extremely fast. But there is a limitation. You can only go as far as the battery bank allows you - and carrying extra batteries is not an option for us as we do a lot of racing. Although we only carry 90Ah of batteries, we have always been able to reach a safe harbour when sailing.
