O-Vives - Trimaran Trika 540-2 - 20200105 - Electric Motor - Piriapolis

A 44Lb outboard electric motor in the Ô-Vives, a Trika 540-2 trimaran.
First sailing tests from La Rinconada beach in Piriápolis.
Being able to use an immediate, silent starter motor was very practical for maneuvering between several boats.
The main goal of the installation of this electric motor is to navigate in lagoons located along the Uruguayan ocean coast, in which the gasoline engines are already being banned. That the sail-electric motor combination is silent and non-polluting is perfect for the production of photo essays about nature and environment..
The solar panel was acquired in Aixa Energías from Piriapolis, who carried out a very neat salt-water-proof electric installation.
The engine is a Venom SX 44Lb from Aussie Watersnake and the deep cycle battery is a 12V / 100A.
