Thanks Eric,
My goal is to at least be able to hit the hull speed. With the 2,0 kW I have in mind that should be possible. Also the pod can be fitted with a folding prop, wich is not possible on trolling motors I guess? I can only find lbs of thrust on trolling motors, are ther any power and efficiency or shaft power numbers avaialable?
