Eric, I have a Torqeedo and one of the best features of the unit is the prop, I've had it on several different trollers and it out preforms the original prop without exception... don't know about the regen capabilities, I'll put it on the test bed when I have a chance and give it a try... ? sea what happens... I just bought a little pontoon boat that servers as a test platform to sea how different props in different configurations work out... kinda fun. Dave K

Taking that idea one step further, what does anyone know about regen from a Torqeedo? I vaguely remember somebody saying something in this group about this, but I can't remember exactly what was discussed.
Torqeedo makes a big deal about their motors being more efficient because of the rare-earth permanent magnets, so they should also be a more efficient generator (I think). And they come in 48V. Even the most expensive Torqeedo is significantly less than the Wattandsea offering.
