Re: [electricboats] 48V 10kW vs 20/30hp ICE

FYI, I installed a new prop per the advice from Electric Yachts, where I bought my QT10 system.

I seems to be the low end of what is acceptable for my 30-foot, 13,000 lb.  displacement sailboat.  Was certainly fine for my 17nm trip from Everett to Kingston in WA.  About the same as the Perkins 108 I replaced, but with less extra power.

Just wondering if anyone can give real life experience with replacing a 20hp or 30hp diesel with a 10kW 48V electric motor diy. I am aware of the conversion and inefficiency allowances etc, but in actuality, is it more like a 20hp or 30hp, assuming same prop and configured rpms etc?
