I saw your Macgregor 25 solar electric conversion. I'm interested in doing something very similar. I was curious how many amps the MinnKota 55's pull at what speeds. Also interested in how many watts the panel array actually generates being mounted flat instead of a more ideal angle. Is your canopy frame holding up the panels made of stainless steel or aluminum? Stability in the water without the mast is another factor I've been considering. It seems like the CG would be pretty low. Thanks for any info you can share on the project!
