Was Our ELECTRIC SAILBOAT Motor A Mistake? - Ep. 19 [Sailing Ixion]

After a series of electrical failures, we began wondering was our electric sailboat motor a mistake? Are we ready to be an electric sailboat?

After months of working, including removing the Atomic 4 Engine out by crane, we felt like we were at wits end when a series of electrical failures happened back to back. This had us questioning whether moving to an electric motor was the right thing, or would staying with the Atomic 4 have been the right decision.

We look back at our previous projects, giving more insight into them and try to figure out whether this was the right decision. Watch along as we try to figure out if this electric motor conversion was a mistake.
