Installed the Cycle Analyst this afternoon and since the wind was up decided I needed to sail. This is the first time that I've had a chance to try out what I spent time and money on. This is what I observed with my iPhone gps 5.4mph(4.6knts) @70amps. 50amps produced 4.5 mph. Battery consumption for the time the motor was on used 22ah.
The controller (Kelly) temperature was slightly warm and the motor (Mars PMAC) was very warm. I didn't have a temp gauge but I could put my hand on the motor for a few seconds until I needed to let go.
I do have some issues with vibration which I'll have to correct and it is louder than I expected producing a loud whine.
Whats nice is just flipping a switch to run it- no water, fuel or smell.
