My motoring is always "off the batteries". I can see the amps that the motor is drawing and the amps going into the battery bank from the solar panels while underway.
I've tried to convince my (informal) sailboat racing friends that I should be able to put as much energy into the prop as the solar panels are generating. Their eyes glaze over, even when I mention that I now have a fixed 4-blade prop. But, it's all fun.

I'm curious, those of the group with solar panels how much of the time to you find yourselves running purely off the panels without tapping into your battery bank?
