Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Maiden voyage!

 

Hello Mark,
 
Thank you! I have the 8.5 kw Thunderstruck kit. I haven't installed gauges yet, so I don't have data. I hope to have them installed this week. I am curious myself! The trip out to the bay is only about 15 minutes each way, so I am more curious than concerned. With the prevaiing wind, I could get back to the dock under sail if we had to. It is for non-prevailing that I need the motor. Later on when we start going further and needing it more, we will need this data! Will post as soon as I have something meaningful.

Very cool Fred. What system did you install? Do you have any numbers for us, amp or watt usage at different speeds?
