Groper, I finally agree with you. I need to knock the size way down to Jon boat size, configuration and speed or go with small tug or trawler...
Hey friends, Check out this URL: www.evdrive.com/products/evd-motor-controller/ You all eventually led me to this, which might lead me to my...
Bollard Pull is the static force that a boat can apply to a stationary object. Typically, speed does not enter the equation.
Four things prompted me to go for electric: 1. Full torque all the way down to below 1 RPM for extremely low speed operation. 2. Because of...
Three things: 1. I am confident that surface drives will work because when you take the heat off at speed you still rumble along at a decent...
I like what you're saying. 300 KW for 43 knots doesn't sound bad, but I'm hoping to keep the total power down to 250 KW, so I may have to...
I totally agree, but electric is much simpler, more compact and a whole lot quieter. Plus, one can get multiple props off of one ICE. I'm...
I know it's not going to be cheep, but I'm still interested. Now, not being all that familiar with Naval Architecture, my biggest concern is,...
Yobarnacle, Quite true. I have seriously considered your concept, which would consist of a small ICE (diesel, gasoline, propane, or whatever),...
Good finds, indeed. Thanks, guys. Okay, so we have a motor with controller, battery and water jet pump. Based on a test drive of Leaf a couple...
Yep. That's what it's looking like -- a smaller boat, reduced speed and much less time at full power. The voltage is not a problem. And I do know...
Oops, I typed one too many zeroes after the one. So, what's an order of magnitude bust among friends. I promise I'm not trying to power an air...
The installation is for a planned new build of a welded aluminum trailerable sport-work-fishing boat to sleep 2 comfortably + 1 or 2 not so...
Marrying a BLDC motor to a Jet Drive has huge possibilities. The motor starts with maximum torque at zero RPM, producing unrivaled hole shot...
Nozzle divider: Vertical steering fin (rudder) that increases the mass of water that is directed in the desired direction -- the more fins the...
