Re: [electricboats] Pocket Trawler Electrification

Can the pods rotate?  That would be handy.

I should add, the rudder as pictured in my last post is as the boat was originally constructed.  It was enlarged by a previous owner and is about 50% larger with area added both on the leading edge and trailing edge.  I may be proven wrong, but I don't believe I'll have any problems with sufficient rudder authority after the prop wash is moved off the centerline and to the pods.   And, as mentioned, I have the cheat-code in the form of a bow thruster, which does seem like overkill on a 27' boat.
