Re: [Electric Boats] Pod mounted in rudder

 

In fact, "decent speed" has been defined by the local harbor authorities here on the island, as the speed at which one doesn't disturb boats in the anchorage, or 3 knots max.
Decency, IMHO, is best associated with slow-boating.
Speed isn't as cool as it used to be...

Hi Marc,

Define "decent speed". Regular trolling motors will get you to about 2.5-3 kts. For my boat, I would classify 4 kts "acceptable", but not exactly "decent". But it's all a matter of personal opinion.

Fair winds,
