Hi,
Question as title: how much actual power at the prop would a 60' narrowboat require to travel along a canal ? I see that many are out there with engines rated at ~35hp, but how much is actually used to move the boat along ? Anyone know ? Alternatively, what rpm / throttle percentage do you use on your narrowboat when just driving along, rather than manouvering or starting off etc ?
Thanks,
Boo2
