drive questions.
#1
Bought a used octopus  1212lar12 for my Pearson 323. 32 feet and about 13,000 pounds.
Very overkill, on bench looks good so far.

No load current is 3 amps.
They claim 4-6 amp and normal usage. 12 amps at max rated thrust and 19amps stalled.

This is on the high side for the Sean's motor controller I have.
I'm thinking of repackaging, adding heat sinks and clutch.

Is there an optimum no load hard over time?
I doubt if light weather load will change much from no load.
Pump is adjustable and can be pretty fast.
They specify a 10" tiller arm and I'm thinking of shortening a little, probably 9"  to save a little rudder movement when docking.
That will make it a little faster.

Does it make sense to make fast as possible and  pwm  motor if needed.?
