I was just reviewing the data provided under another recent topic here, "New Prop 10kw Motor", posted by Peter running his Catalina 30 tall rig, Zephyr. His table stated that in calm seas and running in excess of 5 knots, or roughly 75% of hull speed for a Catalina 30, he was using just over 100 amps
As has been stated in various topics here on this forum, drag increases at roughly the square of speed (depending on hull form, of course), so if Peter were to push closer to hull speed, power usage would increase. But double?
I haven't yet committed to the main battery cables I'll actually be installing on my boat, hence my curiosity: was there a reason you mention 200 amps as a maximum to think about for the T'struck 10kw motor?
