Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Minn Kota engine mounted electric motor



Hey Dave:
2600 pounds? That's barely over a Ton and a half. It must be a very
small cruiser.

Have mounted several Minn-Kota and motor Guide motors to rudders over the
last 10-12 years with great success if speed is not too important. 36
volt, roughly 101 pound thrust gave top speed of 4.5 mph on a 2600 pound
British twin keeled cruiser. Throttled back to about 2 mph, 3 of 12 volt deep
cycle batteries gave about 15 mile range. Motors were faired into the
rudders to reduce drag, not bolted on. Manouverability was excellent.

Mark,

What was the general conclusion about the prospect of attaching a
"Minn-pod" to the rudder? And did anyone try it?

Dennis,

Mark Stafford remembering the gleeful enthusiasm some folks here were
talking about last year: mounting the Minn-pod (or other trolling motor body)
on the rudder. Improved maneuvering, zero speed steering, thrust vectoring.
Weeeeee!

you have thoughts on, attaching one to the hull, for a much much less
expensive Re-e-power pod? Would you put it where the prop was on a sailboat or
someplace else on the hull?
