Hi Bruce, Im a Montgomery 15 owner and Im considering th Torqueedo 1003. How long can it run ?? I sail to Catalina Island from Los Angeles, and I'm concerned about the run time, and charging as well. Thanks, Paul Baker On Thu, May 9, 2019, 2:36 PM Bruce Chmieleski <chmieleski@sbcglobal.net> wrote:
I have a 1003S on my M15 since Aug. 2018. I chose it over the 503 to have the extra run time via its beefier 520 Wh battery. I have the standard fixed mount on the port side of the transom but added wedges to to its surfaces to make the motor shaft vertical and allow the tiller/throttle to better clear the transom when the motor is pivoted up for sailing. The 1003L would probably give you more mounting options (as in higher) and better clearances. Either way, the Torqueedo is a very fine piece of technology and I really like not messing about with liquid fuel.
