RE: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric Motor Components

 

Steve,

That's an amazing jump in efficiency! Did you run the boat at any time with
the original running gear?

I also have a Duffy, mine is a 21' older design very classic lines. It has
a transom mount which I have a Torqeedo 2.0 Cruise attached to with wheel
steering. Works quite well. I run it on 5 x 6volt wet cells for 30 volts.
I use a dc/dc to step down and charge a small accessory battery for onboard
12v. I have run the boat hard all day long and had lots of charge left at
the end of the day. I suspect it would run for 24 hours easy at 4 kts.
