Re: [electricboats] Pocket Trawler Electrification

Regarding your Walter V-Drive, this is probably an RV-10 and, if so, it does not have a pressurized oil system.  Simple oil fill.  There would be a cooling hose attached and run in line with the Yanmar cooling.  And you probably don't need that as the V drive in your application will probably never generate excess heat.  That RV-10 is rated for 50HP if I recall?  And that's the smallest they made.

  And then I still have the friction losses of the v-drive and it's pressurized oil system, the cutlass bearing, etc.  For reference the prop drawn in the original drawing is 17" diameter.
