Hi Mark and All,There was some but no way to find them. With a door to get
to the winch you wouldn't have to take anything off the front fairing
version.If lowering the windshield for the cover put 2-3 for/aft bows to hold
the cover in an aero shape. But you still need to do the trailer aero..
especially the wheel fairings if you want to increase range. While each is
small, together they add up.Jerry Dycus On Monday, May 10, 2021, 10:10:27 AM

Thanks a bunch Jerry. Do you have a link to a photo of something similar? I
don’t want to have to take off a bunch of stuff just to launch the boat. I
read best to lower the windshield and put on a tight fitting cover for about 7%
improvement. Have a renewable energy day Mark

Hi Mark and All, You have several options. First make a v shaped
fairing just large enough to hide the boat behind coming back to beside the
windshield with the trailing part pointing straight aft or very slightly
inward.Likely need a top again coming back to just above the windshield, lower
in front and all placed with plastic sheet like shower stall sides on a light
wood frame glued with Locktite waterproof PL3. .In fact needs water to cure and
I used it to fix a hole in my dinghy while in the water being used!! The
trailer wheels need pants or similar fairing, just a lot smaller.The axle fold
over a piece of thin alum sheet most of the way then fit it over the axle and
tape the 2 ends with double sided tape fair it nicely.Are tires best, lowest
resistance, highest pressure? Syn axle bearing lube? A chloroplast or other
sheet for the underside of the trailer. Are the lights, plate in the
airstream?Wilder options is a larger shape behind it 2.5' long with very
rounded front corners and from widest part gently curving back inward a ' then
cut off sharply.Another is same size but a U shaped airfoil with the same
outside curve of the larger shape.And see what weight you can get rid of in the
trailer, EV and boat.This should get about 50% of the lost range back.Jerry

Hi Folks
When I tow my 6x16 H20 ski boat 1480lbs behind the 3600lb Bolt or 4400lb Tesla,
watt-hours doubles and associated range is cut in half
