Re: Sizing batteries for a small boat
The below information was supplied by my motor vendor for my 2021 Marshall Sanderling (2200 lb. Cape Cod Cat sailboat). It's not quite what you're looking for but I think it'll put you in the

Sizing batteries for a small boat
I am looking to repower a 22ft Norwegian wooden boat with an electric motor. The boat weighs in the 2500-3000 lb range. The 5kW thunderstruck kit would probably do, but their advice is to get a 10kW

Re: Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
S/V Retreat Time is a sail cat, intended purpose is coastal cruising, 1st season Bahamas second season Maine, third season sea of Cortez. No particular reason for the 18KW systems, they are robust

Re: Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
Thank you, Dan I'll revert in a day. I have the same issue, with channelling to the berth. I do not use engine when out on the sea, but winds can get so bad, so it is more comfortable to do motoring,

Re: Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
I did a lot of number crunching and estimating or the performance of my electric drive before I built it. That was mostly based on performance reports from other similar boats and some other

Re: Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
Hi, Dan The props are probably the real key here...And, actually, the use of the cat.If you have a cat, then consider retractable engines in the middle.Stupid to have a big fast cat, with fixed props

Hi, John Be careful of doing so. You may end up being fried instantly ! You'll get toasted.Ask a VERY good marine engineer electrician to do the switch installation job for you, buddy.The connections

Re: Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
One reason you might choose this particular kit is to get the water-cooled motor. I think if you want to be able to motor continuously at speed you really need more robust cooling than the air

Re: Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
Is it a sail cat or just engine powered, John ?? I'm a bit confused, why you need 2x18KW for a cat

Re Power for SV/Retreat Time Catamaran
Greetings my fellow Electrosailors, the day has come after nearly a year of waiting for chips, motors, pumps, fans and now the final details need to be identified, she is getting repowered with

Re: PWM
That model is 12V. I have two 100Ah 12V AGM batteries with On-Off-Both selector. Had plans to go to Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 someday if the boat satisfied my needs, but have not make the move yet. I could

Re: PWM
I use a Minn-Kota Endura Max with standard prop on my 19' O'Day Mariner. The trolling motor is six years old and has PWM. It's remarkable how efficient it is at low speeds. I separated the control

Re: PWM
Dan, That answer is no as far as "trolling motors". Everything with 5/2 speeds is Pot/Resistance controlled. Motors sold as "variable" speed are usually PWM. and more expensive of course. Since the

Re: PWM
Interesting. I wonder if it's a moot point and basically anything you would get today is going to be PWM? Dan Pfeiffer

OK all you tech. guys (I'm NOT). Has anyone done a test with controlled inputs and readings for the benefit of PWM (pulse width modulation) trolling motors? All I know is that they run much longer
