Re: [electricboats] New prop 10KW motor

Michael, consider a big folding or feathering prop, which will give you far less drag.

Then find the proper ratio for engine rpm and prop rpm.

A toothbelt solution will give you the opportunity to change the ratio.

Thanks for your responses, all. I think I'm just going to go with another stock 2 blade to reduce drag under sail. I plan on utilizing the motor very infrequently, so more speed under sail sounds good to me. 

There are so many resources for Catalina owners, but I thought I would check with you all first. 

I will definitely be chiming back in when I begin my motor and battery install!

Thanks
