  • I have installed a 2.5hp Suzuki to my AI and the findings are as follows
    Fuel consumption approx 1 litre per 50mins or 8-10klm per litre depending on weather and sea conditions.
    Good for no or low wind conditions and fishing
    Good for upwind, but leaves you with the feeling you are in a dingy with a motor. So basically if the wind is going to blow all day leave the motor at home.
    If the wind prediction if that it will drop off or become lite, a motor beats peddling.
    If there is no wind and the fish are biting there is nothing to stop you catching a few. over all I like it and plan to upgrade to a TI later in 2017 and I'll definitely have a motor on it.
    I forgot to demonstrate a few things I spoke about but will produce another short clip showing these when I have the final version completed

    Nice to have a motor but there’s something magical when the sails fill up with air !!

    Thanks for the thorough explanation of your setup. Looking to do something similar with my AI and this was very helpful.

    Almost four years down the road from original implementation -- any adverse affects on the hull?
