Re: Electric outboard question
Robin,
Thanks Robin,
The 15 miles is round trip, so he should be ok or fairly close.

I have a large MinKota which is good for about 5 hours at medium speed with a 110 amp hour deep cycle battery. He might get seven hours at about 3mph, so he would still have a 9 mile paddle if it's a round trip. You can't take the battery below a 25% charge without risking damage to it.

Subject: [bolger] Electric outboard question
I know there's someone out there with electric outboard experience.
A friend of mine is taking his new electric powered canoe on a 15
mile trip and wants to know if his battery charge will get him there
or if not, how much paddling he should plan on. I don't know any
details but it's a medium-sized molded Old Town canoe with one
of the smaller Minnkota outboards and a single battery.
Any wild guesses at approximately what kind of range he might
expect on calm water with a load of approx 250 lbs (operator,
battery & gear) or some kind of simple formula for calculating a
rought estimate?
Thanks,

I know there's someone out there with electric outboard experience.
A friend of mine is taking his new electric powered canoe on a 15
mile trip and wants to know if his battery charge will get him there
or if not, how much paddling he should plan on. I don't know any
details but it's a medium-sized molded Old Town canoe with one
of the smaller Minnkota outboards and a single battery.
Any wild guesses at approximately what kind of range he might
expect on calm water with a load of approx 250 lbs (operator,
battery & gear) or some kind of simple formula for calculating a
rought estimate?
Thanks,
