Abstract
A marine vessel has a hull, an electric motor configured to operate a propulsor for generating a propulsive force for propelling the marine vessel in water, port and starboard rear ballast cavities being configured to take on ballast water for modifying a wake produced by the marine vessel in the water, and port and starboard battery banks which provide battery power to the electric motor. The port and starboard battery banks are located above the port and starboard rear ballast cavities, respectively. A driveshaft assembly comprises a driveshaft which is caused to rotate by operation of the electric motor and an oil-filled driveshaft housing on the driveshaft. A propulsor mounted on the driveshaft generates a propulsive force in the water. A method of installing the port and starboard battery banks into the marine vessel is also provided.
