Since the boat is moving 24 hours per day, then .....

Amps per day IS AN INTERESTING UNIT. HOW MUCH power does you boat using
in a 24 per period????

It doesn't include any indication of the voltage.
It doesn't include any indication of how long the power
was provided.
It's a rate of change, not "how much".

Watts is more interesting.

We have a tow generator on our boat. When we went from VA to Portugal, It generated 6-7 Amp per hour/ About 167 amp/day. It was a
Ferris tow generator.

The other day I saw what I took for a generator system that looked
like a trolling motor. I see that Ampair makes a couple of boat towed
water turbine units but they don't look like the unit I saw. I'm
curious as to what my trolling motor would generate if towed and
whether it could be used in a charge-pump circuit to do battery charge
duty. Anyone have any experience with towed generators?
