[Public-List] electric drive

Re: Electric drives:

It depends upon your usage scenario. I have an electric drive on board my
alberg 30. Intended use: get me out of harbour, and back in again. Needed
run time - 20-30 minutes. I have enough battery for an hour of 3 knot
running in calm conditions, and it is charged via a 110 charger overnight.
I live on Lake Erie, where the wind is very dependable, and so I consider
this adequate. Your situation might vary. I could double the battery (for
about $700), and originally intended to do so, but have never used more
than half of it.

I did have a 100 W solar panel (not much room for a bigger one on deck),
but that would take about 3 days of Canadian sun to charge about half the
battery. It now powers my trailer.
