G'day All

Put the dinghy in the water Friday afternoon, 4 x 90Ah AGM batteries, 1.5kW
outboard should give about 2 hours at full throttle (on battery capacity),
or all day 'mucking about'.

Gave it a reasonably good run Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, find
that I need to put a bit more fan cooling on the outboard cowling. The
motor blower is keeping the motor cool(ish), everything inside the cowl is
quite warm to the touch after an hour or so, so the 80mm fan that pushes
the air out of the cowling isn't working well enough.

Had fun on the water, anyhow.

Need to sort out a trailer so as to be able to use it as and when I want
to, but all working well, so time to put it onto the EVDL photo album.

Regards

[Technik] James
