Hi Eric, Jak, Richard and all,
I have an Asmo Marine Thoosa 9000 installed on my Bristol 32 sailboat. The boat is approx. 5 tons, has a 3 blade fixed prop and I've had it under sail going over 6 knots and I have never had it regenerate. This of course was a big selling point when I chose to install the system, so yeah, I'm abit disappointed. But I haven't given up! I see no reason why the motor controller can't be adjusted/ tweeked (I'm looking into it) and possibly the prop switched out for a 4 blade with maybe wider blades? A ski boat prop perhaps? Of course that would increase the drag and slow the boat down- but on a heavy displacement cruiser, by how much? ...Still lots to discover and figure out and I'm sure many others are thinking the same thing.
Thanks,
-Greg
