Ok means 3 knots or less :) you can put bigger props on it and it should do a bit better but it will also load the moters more and lower the life expextancy by some unknown ammount
> I have read here or in the low cost voyaging Group that two minnkotas can power a 26 foot boat OK. (Whatever OK is!)
> Now, these are measured/sold/priced by thrust in pounds.
> What THRUST would I get from a 30 pounder if I added a large diameter straight bladed prop such as model aircraft prop?
> How many would I need to achieve hull speed of, I believe, 6 knots?
> Could I make gains by converting to inboard electric, and using a model airplane prop instead of the regular one on the regular shaft - my current engine is an old atomic 4 gas engine. In other words, does the model airplane prop advantage apply in inboard installations as well as outboard trolling motors?
