Re: [electricboats] Pocket Trawler Electrification

Lars, My name is Peter and I live in Australia. I purchased a mucked around with Hartley 21ft trailer sailer and opted for an Epropulsion 6kw pod, using others lithium batteries for ease of handling and placement.

Because the Hartley had so many faults and I needed a bigger boat anyway, I have just purchased plans for a Chesapeake Marine 28ft trawler. 

I still plan to use my 6kw pod and also add another for redundancy.

I figure that two motors will easily get me to hull speed around 7knots.

So we are on a similar wave length.

I hope to be almost entirely solar powered and by having two battery banks of 4x 200w I am hoping to get 8-10 hours of sailing per charge at just below hull speed.

I have conversed at length with Epropulsion Australia about this setup and I have listed somewhere the output and thrust from their 6kw pod.

I also have actual trial results from others who have been down the same road, but I will have to look them out.

I am interested to follow your progress.

Cheers for now Peter
