[Electric Boats] Re: Sailboat Props - Data Please

 

Thanks for the follow up, Richard.  You'd said earlier that your Alberg 30 is heavy, and that you run a 13 x 12 3-blade prop; that at 3  to 3.5 kts you're drawing about 20 amps; and that you can to about 4.5 hours at about that pace.  Averaging 3.25 kts for 4.5 hours while drawing about half of your battery capacity (~100AHrs) seems to translate into a range of 14.5 nautical miles.  I appreciate all the detail!

You also noted earlier using 3:1 gearing.  What do you estimate your shaft RPMs to be?
