Re: 2hp,how much thrust?
Well, a lot depends on the prop and how fast the engine is turning, but here is a ballpark way to figure it. . . by comparing it to a 50# thrust electric troller.
The 50# troller typically draws 40 amps at full power. At 12Volts that figures to about 480 watts.
One HP is about 745 watts, so your popper makes about 1490 watts at WOT, or about 3 times as much power.
That suggests that, with the right prop at WOT, your engine would make about 150# of thrust.
