Whether you can install the engine yourself is solely
a question of your handyman skills.
If you do not want to make the installation yourself, any boatyard
can install it, as it is far easier to install than a diesel inboard.
The engine, including gearing and console weights a fraction of
a diesel engine, so it can be easily aligned without the usage of
heavy tools, and the electrical components comes pre-wired for easy
installation
Note - we recommend using motor mount, to absorb vibrations from
the propeller.

| On shore charger |
|
|
The size of the shore charger depends
on the size of the battery bank and the time available for charging.
Your local dealer will help calculate the right charger size upon
choosing the size of your battery bank.
Note - if the system chosen is a hybrid solution including a generator,
the charger must have Power factor 1, so it can be used for both
the generator and shore power.
Note – when ordering the charger, make sure to inform what
kind of batteries there will be used, as the programming of the
charger differs from lead-acid to gel batteries. |
| Solar Panels |
|
|
Solar Panels (Photovoltaic panels) can
easily be combined to the system, to charge the batteries by the
forces of nature. |
| Windmill |
|
|
Windmill(s) can easily be combined to
the system, to charge the batteries by the forces of nature. |
| Regeneration by propeller (Only Thoosa
6000 RG and Thoosa 8500 RG) |
|
|
By letting the propeller turn, while
going for sail, you can charge the batteries by the forces of nature.
Note – to gain sufficient the boat should go minimum 5 knots
for sail. |
| Generator |
|
|
The system can be combined with a generator,
if the distance that can be achieved by batteries alone, does not
meet the motoring requirements. The generator can provide power
to the electric propulsion system as well as the house loads.
Note – the charger used with the generator must have Power
factor 1. |
