[Electric Boats] Keeping HP simple.

 

Hi, thanks for the responses.
It seems that there is no instant answer, too many variables. But that pulling test seems the info I really wanted!
Seems that with 3 minnkotas, take out the resistor speed controls, add model airplane props, and it would be like having one minnkota extra!
So, from these responses plus the other topics lately, it would seem once again that the electric setup can be done using low cost parts. The controller being so low cost to compare with switches is good too.
I will be having some scope for fiddling, as I have a line on a cheap outboard, which frees up the inboard for removal or modification (adding electric via clutch?). But I am still way ahead of myself, with other boat work.
I like the HP comparisons that Eric presents. The lower the electric requirement, the cheaper the minimum practical setup, as well as maybe the most range.
Thanks,
John
