Cruising 300 Hydrogenerator

CRUISING 300 Hydrogenerator

  • An input of energy up to 300W (24 Amp in 12 V), for more comfort in the respect of the environment !

    The CRUISING 300 is usually recommended to boats measuring up to 35 feet :

    Available in two lengths in order to optimize the immersion of the propeller depending on the place choosen for the fitting.

    Ideal on boats sailing generally from 4 to 6 knots, and consuming around 8 Amps (12 V installation)

    Delivered in standard with the 240 mm diameter propeller (output 8 Amps at 5,2 knots), it will produce even more with the 280 mm propeller (8 Amps at 4,5 knots)

    Mobile application : converter equipped with a Bluetooth chip allowing the reading of charge data, various technical informations, as well as the adjustment of voltages if necessary (Lithium battery)

    Available in 2 versions :

    • short (Ref. PK-610-300)
    • long (Ref. PK-970-300)

    Output 100 W from 5 knots
    Light : 6,3 kg
    Two years waranty
    Quiet
    Hydrodynamic Design

    Which propeller to choose ?

    The propeller supplied in standard with the CRUISING 300 hydrogenerator pack is the 240 mm model which allows to produce 8 Amps at 5 knots.

    It is the more “universal” model guaranteeing the energy self-sufficiency on most boats with a negligible drag. To produce at slowest speed, the 280 mm diameter is more efficient.

    To produce at higher speed to minimize the drag effect, the 200 mm diameter is available as well as the 200 mm with manual variable pitch to be used on applications like MINI 6.50.

  • General Questions

    From what speed can I use the Watt&Sea hydrogenerator ?
    What is the drag generated by the hydrogenerator ?

    When shall I schedule a revision ?
    I wish to buy a Watt&Sea hydrogenerator, where can I find a reseller ?
    How long to be delivered with my all brand new hydrogenerator ?

    Mechanical installation

    What strength is generated by the hydrogenerator while sailing ?
    Can I install my Watt&sea hydrogenerator by myself ?
    Can I paint the hydrogenerator same color of my boat ?
    Is there any fuse system if my hydrogenerator is subject to a collision with an UFO during navigation?
    The transom on my boat is not vertical, can I install an hydrogenerator ?

    Eletrical Installation

    Do I have to put a fuse on the electrical installation of my hydrogenerator ?
    How much time will the Watt&Sea hydrogenerator take to fully load the batteries ?
    My cable from the hydrogenerator to the converter is longer than recommanded in the manual. What are the consequences ?
    What kind of solar panels can I connect to the Watt&Sea converter ?
    The cable wires going out from the hydrogenerator are not numbered. How can the order of the connection be right ?

    Is it possible to load several banks ?
    Can I stop the energy production without lifting the hydrogenerator up ?
    Can I use the Watt&Sea hydrogenerator simultaneously with the engine ? (engine alternator load at the same time with the hydrogenerator’s one)
    Can I let the hydrogenerator in the water when the batteries are fully loaded ?
    Does the hydrogenerator convert alternating current to direct current, to load the batteries ?
    Why should the converter be mounted vertically ?
