[Electric Boats] Pod mounted in rudder

 

Hello,

We are investigating to mount an electric pod in our rudder. Anyone with good thoughts? I want to aim for a +/- 2 - 2.5 kW on max 24V due to limited space available on my 24' daysailer. I can stow 2 12V, 270 Amp batteries.

DC or AC? and then 24V or maybe 220V or other V with inverter (lower amps, thus smaller cables into rudder) This will however will cost some efficiency.

We all ready test sailed with an inboard 24V, 2.5 kW PMG engine to our satisfaction. However fitting in to the rudder will create more flexibility while building and after sales.

We are looking for "of the shelf" products to facilitate small series production later on.

Any thoughts?

Marc
