Yep Jim,
In fact an AQUAIR U.W. (no financial connection to them), mounted on
a retractable pole, is what I will probably be using on my Rasmus
35.
I have a Max prop which can be locked in reverse to make it quite
efficient for using the drive shaft to regen but I would rather keep
the process separate. I see this as a great way to "trickle charge",
as someone here put it, while on long multi day/week trips.
