Re: [Electric Boats] keep it simple advice

 

You won't go anywhere fast but if you have patience you can go very far.

I had a hobie tandem island which is a heavy pig of a plastic sailing tri.  I had a 55 minnkota with a small lead acid marine battery and a small 40 watt solar panel that put out about 7 amp on a reasonably sunny day. I would do about 2hrs up river on a Saturday without running out of power. It was usually completely recharged in two days.

If you use a 100 watt you should be able to work almost exclusively off the panel if you are just taking it easy.

I have a 10.5 ft fg catamaran, with a 40 lb thrust electric. I want to put on solar to recharge and maybe help power underway.  Lots of sun here.


See 100 and 200 watt solar kits at places like Harbor Freight


Will this give me what I want. (charge between use, get back to dock if drain battery)
