[Electric Boats] Re:Trolling motor for small DIY bow thruster?

 

On your boat I would be more concerned about the drag associated with a bow thruster than anything else, especially under sail.

Perhaps add a small bow sprit (cutter rigs are great anyway!).  Just rig the trolling motor under the bow sprit on some kind of rig like a roller furler uses so you can retract it when not needed.  ;-)  Then just use the trolling motor without modification except for mounting.
