Re: What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
The big difference in efficiency between the sailboat and the trawler is the turbulence and drag of the transom. I don¡¯t know how much less efficient it is but it¡¯s a lot of churning water. At

Re: What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
4-5 MPH is more realistic from a 7.6kW generator. Most motor and controller setups will require DC power input. A simple bridge rectifier may make that possible. For that large prop, you will need a

Re: What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
Capt Carter - what kind of motors do you have, and how do you control them? I agree with your statement about 4mph being more reasonably achievable - but that in wind and current, I would probably

Re: What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
John,? To give you a comparison, the Arc is 45' long, 13.5 wide, 3' draft, and weighs 20 tons. My electric motor will push it 1 mph at 500W, 2 mph at about 1000W, 3 mph at about 2000W, 4 mph at about

Re: What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
Agreed - if the diesel engines keep working, there is no reason to replace them.But what if one or both dies? The most expensive part of an electric installation is the batteries - especially for big

Re: What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
Your 7.6KW generator is equal to 10HP, but there is inefficiencies when converting from AC to DC too. There are a lot of variables, so there is no easy answer to what you would get, but I would guess

What if...? Hybrid conversion for Trawler???
The following scenario is a "what ifffff" for a "trawler" class cruising boat. These boats are generally powered by old diesel engines - typically 120-275HP each (twin engines). If the diesel engines

Re: Trolling Motor Propellers
Thanks Jeff, McMasters sent me his videos, says he can maintain tow speeds for about 45 minutes. The tech has improved so much since I started following this, and continues to, I hope greater battery

Re: Trolling Motor Propellers
My rule of thumb is 1 amp per lb of thrust at 12v... so 80 lb thrust at 24v would be about 40 amp. wrote:

Have a link for the 4x10prop apc didn¡¯t seem to have on web siteI have a 24v old mini Kota said 4 ho on it someone said it¡¯s close to 80lbs thrust? Any idea of max amps I can use for it?I used old

Re: Trolling Motor Propellers
Trolling motor heating is related to current draw, which is related to load. For a well-designed motor, if you operate it below its maximum rated current, you should't have any heating problems.If you
