Electric Sailboat Motor Conversion - Ep. 08 [Sailing Ixion]

Now that we removed our Atomic 4 Engine, we are ready to install our ThunderstruckEV electric sailboat motor conversion kit. Going green has never felt so good. We were inspired by our fellow YouTube sailors Dan and Kika from Sailing Uma, and decided we wanted to go green. They weren't the only reason we decided to make this decision, quite frankly, there was a mountain of reasons. The largest one was our Atomic 4 was gas and it the smelly, loud, temperamental, and occasionally incontinent; needless to say, it was showing its age and it was clear that this atomic era fossil was ready to be retired... and we wanted something quiet, eco friendly, and just an all around nice individual to be around. Going electric was the perfect decision, especially since a motor on a sailboat is auxiliary. Watch as we begin converting Ixion to an electric sailboat, and all the hurdles that entrails. Comment below with any questions you have in regards to the motor and we will address them in future video.
