Hi all,
I'm looking at these plans - https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/simplified-400-watt-fewer-wires-and-alternator-charging.html
I'm making plans for a camper boat. I'm considering purchasing a 10HP 48Volt kicker motor in addition to a 25HP gas outboard motor and using a 48 volt system in the interior of the boat. This would let me charge a 48V battery bank while running the gas motor and also be able to run the 10HP electric motor when the battery bank is fully charged. This is the electric motor - https://www.elcomotoryachts.com/product/ep-9-9-electric-outboard/
Is it even possible to do this? I would need to swap the Renogy charger with something that supports 48 volts as well as the inverter?
Is this a bad idea?
The boat I'm remodeling is here -
