Ocean Alexander 39 Sedan Electric Propulsion Conversion

In 2022 this boat was professionally converted to operate on electrical power. Two Bell Marine 20 KW electric motors were installed along with all required batteries and electrical systems. 72 KW hours of 48 volt LiFePo battery storage is aboard. The electrical system is installed professionally with marine grade components by Seattle Boat Works, which would also provide support for any future owner.

The seller provides the following information regarding speed and range:

On batteries only:
9 nm 1400 rpm 6 kts
14 nm 1200 rpm 5 kts
20 nm 900 rpm 4 kts
40 nm 700 rpm 3 kts

On batteries and generator using 5 gallons of fuel:
16 nm 1400 rpm 6 kts
23 nm 1200 rpm 5 kts
37 nm 900 rpm 4 kts
70 nm 700 rpm 3 kts

The original fuel tanks remain installed. The original Westerbeke 8 KW generator is aboard but is not operational. The owner uses a portable gas generator for battery charging (this effect is described in the chart above) .The diesel generator could be repaired to provide for underway battery charging, or a new DC to DC generator installed for maximum efficiency. The boat could then operate continuously at 4 knots through diesel generation underway with such a system to provide for long range cruising. As currently configured, the boat is entirely capable of completely quiet cruising on Puget Sound, and has reached Vancouver, British Columbia over a 3 day cruise (stopping at Port Townsend and Friday Harbor for overnight recharging).

Electrical systems include:
- Victron 3KW Battery Charger-Inverter
- True Charge 20 Plus Smart Charger
