https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-Lead-carbon-battery-EN.pdf I’m curious what the consensus is for the suitability of lead...
The BMS is accessible in a separate compartment on the top of the Valence 40ah battery. In regards to the potential for battery modification, if...
Rumars, Thanks for the feedback. Very helpful. So with a 48 volt limit, in groups of 4 batteries wired in series, is there a fundamental or...
I’m fortunate in that I have no specific need to fulfill. I own a 22ft outboard powered boat center console with a 48mph top speed, pleasantly...
Very helpful thank you. You unfortunately confirmed my greatest concern. That the batteries in question were not fundamentally suitable for the...
I fully agree that a 150lb hull would not cope well with a 1500 drivetrain load minus occupants in a rough sea state at speed. That is why I am...
[MEDIA] Yes, again sorry for the long post. The Stevens boat hull above is 16’ long and 54 lbs. It’s a bare bones shell with a carbon composite...
Hello, First off, I am a boat builder, but I’d easily get a failing grade on any advanced electrical systems test. This post will be long, so...
so basically averaging 14 mph. I have read that a stock 5ph seagull is actually more like 3-4 hp. Not too familiar with the seagull outboards...
Rick, I like your design concept. It sounds like a straight line speed demon. The reason why I asked about the length of the course is...
Cardboard boat racing, fun stuff. I have competed before, well sort of. I have volunteered to be the designated boat designer/builder for a...
I did a simple yahoo search using... seagull racing outboard ...and came to a simple website from a guy who races seagull outboards in New...
Ber1023, What was the average speed(MPH) of the winning boat in the stock seagull 5hp category this year? The stock Seagull class is what...
I hope you all will indulge me as I would like to explore the feasability of using a combination of a gas v8 engine with an electric drive system...
I don't think a generator would be a good idea. Trust me it is not that kind of boat. Check out the bayhead.com website under A-cats. Great...
Bummer, If I go outside 12 volts, it would likely be 3 batteries in a 36 volt configuration. George
Thanks for the feedback fellas. I would really prefer to use the standard trolling type drive system. The boats I sail use underhung barn...
Oh yeah. Any recommendations as to trolling motor models, thrust ratings, battery types, etc? George
Hello fellas. I have a question for the electric propulsion over achievers hanging out around here. Here goes ...I have a 1924 28ft racing...
