[Electric Boats] Re: motor overheating



Thanks Denny,

So tied to the dock, slip is 100%. Pushing into a headwind - doesn't slip increase as well? Based on experience and intuition the boat just slows down - amps stays constant at a given throttle. You have to up throttle (voltage) to compensate and try to maintain speed.

If we were talking golf carts again, I'd buy into the amps increasing. But water is squishy and will follow the path of least resistance - and given enough wind that would be sideways.

But I'll do some homework to make sure I'm not just talking through my hat.

(and I'm wondering if I've got a problem in my motor or ammeter - I can pull 20amps at WOT no load, belt removed)
