<p>If you have a Tiki 46, what is your maximum sustained speed under power, and what form of propulsion type/model/HP of engine(s) do you have?</p>
<p>I'm curious partly because we hope to have a Tiki 46 sometime in the next few years and would almost certainly take it through the Panama Canal at some point, and I've read they they demand 8 knots with the threat of large fines if you can't do that speed.</p>

<p>so i am putting together a diesel electric system with a 10hp yanmar chinese L100 engine, and appropriate alternator to charge the batteries for my torqueedo electric outboard.</p>
<p>Now the thought occurs to use the diesel to alternatively run a pump that drives a hydraulic motor which then (magic happens here) drives a prop. i was thinking to maybe cut out the engineering of a pod with prop approach by purchasing an old outboard, scrapping the engine, and hooking directly to the drive…</p>

<p>So, obviously totally loony here. But engineering issues? anyone have any experience with small scale *(tiki21) hydraulic props?</p>
<p>As an aside there was a tehini in the Med that had dual props driven by a single pump to diesel. Anyone know who designed it? thanks.</p>
