Did you already studied similar existing vessels?
* efficiency (~80%) = 3 hp shaft power.
These are my notes for the basic boat design course. The program has closed, but this material could be helpful. But yes, read everything you can.
Thanks, these are exactly the dimensions I need. This is a right hand prop though. Don't know yet if the motor runs as well to both direction.
Sure, it is possible to find diameter (12") and pitch (8") quite near, but the blade area is about 5-8 times more than needed and efficiency gone...
One problem with the Torqeedo output power 5.6 kW is and that is propulsion efficiency. It will change a lot depending on boat speed, propeller...
Sounds plausible.
I don't know. It seems that all electric or trolling motor sales material copy each others material. If they lie, I can lie. It's the same with...
Yes, as long as it means propeller shaft power...
PAR, thank you for sharing your experience in the issue. I think, this should be in the interest of manufacturers of trolling motors. Every...
ondarvr, how can you increase pitch in the blade-hub joint? The problem is just here, the trolling motor propellers are designed for 4 mph...
