Hi Reino,
I was looking on the net I came upon this motor. http://cgi.ebay.
Now, as I told I'm not that a electrician, but would this be a good motor. I am considered about the amp's on load?? Forgive me if I am asking the wrong things, but thats my problem. What do I need and what should I look for as in motor.
Ok, thanks again,
Roland

Hi Roland,
Reino Urala from Finland
Right now testing an el-boat with about similar battery capacity (4kWh).
Some measured reference data:
speed 4knots, range 50km, 350W
speed 8knots, range 15km, 2200W
speed 12knots, range 8km, 6000W
But this is a trimaran with small "hull speed effect"!
Note1: Increasing power means decreasing range dramatically.
Note2: Your boat is strongly "hull speed limited", and increasing power
would be much more fatal concerning speed and max. range!
Note3: A low wave drag el-boat is peculiar: You may make hundreds of km
by cruising really slowly. And you may make 15kn for short sprints.

I allready changed the pulleys but as a result, the motor becomes hot, so I'm figuring that is not the way to do it. It now has a 300 Watt, 24 V electric motor which would be sufficient in a pond, but I live by a slow streaming river, there for the motor is too weak. Oh, and the batteries are 2 x 12 V 200 amp in series.
