Re: [electricboats] Trolling Motor Propellers

Günter - It looks like the Haswing Protruar 3.0 with a retrofitted propeller is my best bet.  Brushless, low RPM, PWM controller (I believe), and not overpriced.  I wish I had figured that out earlier.  I plan to retrofit a more hydrodynamic piece on the shaft of my trolling motor.  The golden motors are interesting for an outboard conversion with a gear reduction, but not so much for a direct drive that requires low RPM and small cross-section.  What cruising speed are you targeting for the Kat?  With anticipated advancements (~5 years) in battery energy densities, a battery-powered Kat could soon be a very capable and practical craft that exceeds displacement speeds.  That might be a future project for me.
