Re: [electricboats] Pocket Trawler Electrification

Hi Bobkart,
 
Thanks for your report with actual use on the outboard version.  Given that ePropulsion sells a 48v nominal battery for the outboard I have no worries that it's designed to operate at spec at that voltage. 
 
With two pods, both the math and anecdotal experience from a few catamarans that have used two of the Navy 6.0s like yours, I have no worries about available power.  Hopefully I'll a similar experience of one of the 31', 10,000lb catamarans that is able to reach 6 knots with 3500 watts total across the two pods.  I'm a monohull, 26' waterline, 6000 lbs displacement, so expecting I'll be able to make 5 knots with relatively low power, hopefully around 3500 watts total.
 
I am using the aluminum 12.6" x 8.7" props that came with the pods.  I'm back and forth on whether to spend another $400 to get the left hand, reverse rotation prop to run one of the pods with opposite rotation.  
 
Thanks - Lars
