no, I assumed the standard generator size that is normally belted to a prop to
produce amps, the one that steals about 1/3 hp from the boat speed.

you, on the other hand jeffies, assumed a generator that steals about 5 hp from
the boat speed.

I figure now you didn't then know what 3 KW means, so now you are trying to run
around in circles until you turn into butter.

Poor jaxie is off by a factor of around 30 or 40 because he assumed the
generator is the same one he uses on his bicycle.

okay, here's the math condensed.

173 days sailing needed to produce enough energy to motor 1 day.

sounds like too long jax, re-do your math. Take a couple days, then get
back to us.

AND if you are willing to sail for 173 days straight just to motor less
than a
day. (see prior post).
