Electric Motors / Golf Cart Motors

[BADBLOWN572]

Is anyone familiar with the propultion setup for an electric golf cart? I need to setup a boat with an electrical drive system and I can not find any info on what I will need or where I can get it.
What I am looking for is:
48v golf cart engine
6ea 8d AGM batteries
Control box
Speed controller
Monitoring sytem
Can anyone provide me with info or point me in the right direction? :)

Are you just looking for a stock motor? I may have one in the next couple of weeks that I will sell pretty cheap.

We have a customer who wants to put an electric motor in our 18' boat. The guy has a house on Lake Mission Viejo. They do not allow any gas powered boats on the lake. So, basically he wants to turn our boat into an electric boat that looks like it would be gas powered. Just something different he can cruise around in and look good doing it. :rollside:
I can set it up without a problem, I just have no idea where to get the components or which components to use. :cry:

Duffy makes electric powered boats. Maybe they could help.

I have done a lot of research into Duffy, but they manufacture a lot of their own parts. I am looking for a variety of aftermarket parts and where I can get them. So far, no luck. :(

Danny,
You may want to look into either an ETEK or Lynch motor.
We have used the ETEK for some robotic demos and they seem to work great. I know that they are already used in some electric boat applications also.

They converted my golf cart to an AC drive, and it works great. They do a lot of stuff for all kinds of electric vehicles, and may be of great help.
