Originally built without any engine, I’m intrigued by the possibility of installing a shaft drive inboard electric motor with a propellor in an aperture in the rudder. This would be a true auxiliary and I would not expect to do a lot of miles under power.
Does anyone know of websites or other media where I can learn about various suppliers, equipment, systems? There are lots of manufacturers selling pod drives as integrated systems but I think I need to DIY a system: motor, mounting, batteries and management system, thrust bearing etc. And I’m hoping that there is a place for people like me to look. Or has someone done something similar?
Any ideas? Thank you
