Hi all,
I'm using a 5hp Honda 4 stroke, mostly reliable. Just wondering though if anyone has powered a Catalina 22 with a Torqeedo, either the 1003c or 1103c models. I sail on a lake, but often have to motor into a 10-15mph headwind on the way out to the body of the lake. The weight of the Catalina 22 is just about at the maximum weight the manufacturer claims for this motor.
Having an electric motor and avoid hassle of fuel, tune ups etc sounds promising. Certainly wouldn't work for anyone doing any cruising or long motor trips.
