Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
John,
I think you are right to view removing the old engines as quite a big job. Don’t underestimate that part. Then getting an electric setup that will deliver enough power to let you get planing

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
Carston,
Forget about using an outboard. Your boat is very similar to my previous
boat, pacific seacraft Orion, and is not designed for an outboard.
Get the thunderstruck 10kw kit, sell torqueedo, or

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
Carsten,I think the bad reverse performance is mainly an issue of the outboard having to fight against the hull and keel.??
I previously had a Catalina 27 with a 10hp 4-stroke outboard in a motor

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
For the wind generator, you could keep your 12v system separate from your
48v propulsion system, and let the wind generator charge for house battery
use.
For the Solar, you will need a 48v solar

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
Yes, I mostly use the torqeedo to get in and out of the marina. It would be nice to have more power in reverse, and maneverability is not great, even mounted on the rudder. It's a hassle to pull the

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
Thanks, John
I may reconsider that solution, as you said the reverse was not good. Probably because of the pod ?
When anchoring, I need full reverse power to dig the anchor.

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
Carsten,If you're really going to go that route, I'd recommend two Torqeedo T4.0's.I mounted one as an experiment on an Catalina 30.? One Torqeedo would push the boat at very slow speed. Reverse was

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
What is your use of the Torqueedo now ?It seems that you only use it for docking, slow motorsailing etc. as it is a small configuration for your 5T boat.
How about two Torqueedos, one starboard, one

Re: repurposing torqeedo 2.0 to inboard engine?
You need a 10kW motor to move 5 toms.? I would think with that rudder, you would want an inboard for bettercontrol.? Do not see a good place to put a pod unless you mount it to the rudder

I have a Motenergy PMAC motor I’m not using. I can get you the specs if you’d like. I’m sure it’d gave more power than you 2kW Torgeedo.
