> 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.
