Re: Another Solar Electric Katamaran
The Voltage for propulsion is 24 V DC. The trolling outboards are Haswing Protruar 3.0, 1.44 kW, the bow thruster (for box maneuvers) is a Haswing Protruar 2.0, 960 W (Wattages are power input). The

Re: Another Solar Electric Katamaran
Very nice, I built an 18' catamaran that uses a Torqeedo 2.0 Cruise with 1560 watts of panels charging a 10kw Lifep04 battery bank. I wish I had made it 20' for a bit more efficiency in cruising.

Re: Another Solar Electric Katamaran
Looks Good.? So everything (battery, motors) is/are 12VDC?? You didn't mention battery specs.
I'd be curious to know what model of flexible solar panels you're using.? Specifically, the watts-peak

I love the VW bus front paint scheme. I had a 1966 bus painted the same

Re: My Solar/Electric Catamaran
Interesting. So if I took off the rudder and added a fairing, the fairing could act like a rudder?
Yes, I think it would, depending on the surface area.

Re: My Solar/Electric Catamaran
Lookin' good.I found that adding a plastic fairing around the motor's shaft greatly reduces the drag at higher speeds, so you get a higher top speed with the same motor and prop.?Streamline Fairings

Re: Recommendation for 48 v inboard motor + generator.
Hello Rob,
I went the easier (but more expensive route) of buying a DC genset (I
settled on a Fischer Panda AGT 18000 --> 18KVA). I am running at 96VDC, and
that was a 5% premium on top of their

Re: Recommendation for 48 v inboard motor + generator.
Are you saying you can hold 4.8 knots at 2200 watts (2000+200)? What are the boat specs? Have you measured actual output from generator and solar?
