Hy Guy's.
Funny enough I have been talking about this for some time, but on the forum I bought our HT from.

The solomon is interesting but although seems to cover it all it would cost around 6 -9 grand if you bought a genset as well.

I so decided that we would fit a Vetus 55 in ours next January. Only a 6 inch tube. Well worth a very small amount of drag and someone who fittied one to a Catalack recons it's great.

Cost is abou 1 grand with battery. However like you I would only use it in harbour and for around 10 mns at a tim, so would fit the battery with a good solar panel. ( In the Med so no probs)

However this RE E Power is new to me so I will check it out. I have a feeling its only for manuvering and not heavy enough for main drive , even with a gen set.

Best regards
