The rain finally stopped and this morning was clear and calm. Got to compare the aftermarket Kipawa 314 propeller with the stock MK 'weedless'....
Thanks Porta, Fortunately, Lake George has little millfoil or other weeds that might stall one of the two motors. But if I see that series is...
Thanks srimes, Sitting in the middle definitely helps. With the transom now up more out of the water, drag is definitely down - even though the...
Thanks Porta, The P+G P8 wheelchair 4Q/joystick 50A 24V 'battlebot' package is pretty cheap on eBay - at least it used to be - so I thought...
Hi srimes, Well, I think the wheelchair controller and skid-steer is working great with the two Endura 34's. But the jonboat is an...
Twin 34 Enduras with P+G Controller now operational.. Hi everyone! Took me a while to get back to this, but I finally got my jonboat operational...
Have you run across a copy of Brent Swain's Origami Boatbuilding book? Even if you build in wood, it might have some useful tips. Brent is not...
The book rasorinc mentions above is 'Inboard Motor Installations' - and it is loaded with marinizing info - including a complete step-by-step...
Thanks StianM & rasorinc, So far I'm going to continue to stall wife on getting rid of it. Rasorinc, did you do one of these? Or have any URL's...
Anyone have any opinions - for or against - using the drivetrain (complete, pump and motor) from a WaveRunner VX110 transplanted into a relatively...
I've an 'extra' 1994 Lincoln Mk VIII. It has only 70K on it, but the suspension is shot. At most, I'll get $1000 to $1,500 for it if I'm lucky....
To perhaps beat a dead horse, if you take the $109 Endura 34 and eliminate the use of the 'speed coil' resistance banks by using a 24V scooter PWM...
Thanks ben2go.. Yes, the Etek powered 3 HP Briggs seems a nice package - as do the Torqeedos. But both are out of my price range at about $2000....
I will start by using two of the smaller Endura 34's with the Penny + Giles P8 controller. Initial 'garbage can tank test' of this controller...

Thanks daiquiri, thudpucker, and srimes for your thoughts. And I see I was deficient in enough detail trying to explain what I am trying to do....
About a year ago I rigged up a cheap 'speed coil'-type 34lb 12V MK Endura to a PWM supply. It got a lot of use this Summer on a 12' jonBoat on...
Kyboatbuilder, This is going to sound retrograde, but for a 21' Bass Boat why not just use 5086 0.125 Al? Weld it up as a giant 'box beam'(s)...
Thanks Rick. You have been a big help so far. I think I should proceed with some actual on-the-water tests with the two props I have, then...
Thanks for reply Nicholas. Best Wishes for your Project! Rick, FWIW, I tried to get the pitch of the two trolling motor props. The stock...
