Steve,
15 second hard over time seems slow to me. May not be able to track well in a seaway. Doug s/v Callista "Steve" wrote in message ... Thanks for the formulas Glenn. I ran the numbers to get some idea of what I might be looking for. Seems I should be using about a 2"X20"X1.5" cylinder, 318psi @ .186gpm. Using a slightly oversize pump at a lower RPM, I would need a 1/4hp motor to achieve the 15 sec. hard over time. Seems do-able on paper. I just don't know what the max current draw might be for this motor. I'm sure someone has a formula for this as well. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

15 seconds is a bit slow for a fin keel but you are spoiled. ;-) Will
likes the WH to run under 10 seconds with full load and usually closer to 6 seconds. Doug Dotson wrote: Steve, 15 second hard over time seems slow to me. May not be able to track well in a seaway.
