CharterCharter• Upon completion of our project, we will have designed, Upon completion of our project, we will have designed,

tested, and built a biodiesel charging system that powers tested, and built a biodiesel charging system that powers two electric motors operating in parallel with the existing two electric motors operating in parallel with the existing gasoline outboard. Ideally the new propulsion system will gasoline outboard. Ideally the new propulsion system will be retrofit onto the existing bike ferry, or a prototype of be retrofit onto the existing bike ferry, or a prototype of similar design. similar design.
