Generating power
With the underwater drive / propellar permantly out, you should install it so that you have two options. "free wheeling" or "Power generating mode".
The propellar will spin as you sail. If theres a free gear it will spinn without much resistance, but if the electric PM motor is fitted you could use that as a generator to charge your batt3ries.
Resistance while generating power would be higher, but I will proabably only reduce boatspeed with something like 1 knot.
And you would be making your own current for the batteries and the boat.
Thoughts on that ?
