An input of energy up to 300 W (24 Amps 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)

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
Mechanical installation
Eletrical Installation
Above 10 meters, use a minimum cross-section of 3 x 2,5 mm².
The MPPT regulator will adapt to the line loss.
Please note, the solar panel will only be recognized by the converter once the hydrogenerator is turned off.
However, if there is a discrepancy between the Watt&Sea converter settings and the battery voltages, it is possible to adjust the voltages using the software available in the download section.
Lithium-Ion battery management systems often require the ability to control the shutdown of charging sources for safety reasons. To do this, you must use the ON/OFF relay associated with an adequate resistance, available in our accessories.
If this is not possible, you need to add an ON/OFF relay combined with a suitable resistor, available in our accessories to be able to disconnect the hydrogenenerator.
If you wish to leave it in the water, we recommend installing an ON/OFF relay combined with a suitable resistor, available in our accessories. The hydrogenerator then runs quietly at idle.
Installed horizontally, it risks overheating and therefore being damaged.
