What? Wow, The small electric motor pushing a boat like that is awesome!

Hi, it looks good. Any new feedback after some months using it?
Do you think this POD is enough feasible for 31 foot sailboat, 4200 kg displacement?
Many thanks for your help!

Great! Have you had the opportunity to check the operating time at full power and half power?
The factory data shows the maximum speed for 1.5 hours and half the speed for 6 hours? Do you envision any solar panel system for charging?

[@burkvistmarin4176]

Yes but we need to do some more testing. Battery is 9kwh. Full power is 1,5hours and top speed so far is 6,4kn. At 2000w we get 4,8-5kn and a range of 20nm+. 3,7kn at 1250w.
