Roland,
heating = poor efficiency!
A good permanent magnet DC motor efficiency is about 90%. For instance
my motor:
http://www.perm-
Good and expensive!
Or this:
http://www.electric
Good and some less expensive!
Good smaller power rating motors must exist, but I do not know about them!
This 4HP 24 motor:
Poor efficiency here too = 45amps @ no load (!).
RPM may be too high for you? Present RPM? Motor can be used at lower
RPM, but efficiency is worse, and power is smaller.

>> Maybe some of you know this boat or have one. I'm having a little problem with the speed of the boat. 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.
>> Now, I'm searching for a replacement (bigger) motor to use. Also I read there's need for a controller?? and I'm also looking for a throttle of some kind, because the boat now only has on/off switch.
>>
>> I saw on the net that there are lots of electric scootermotors for sale, can these be used?
>> What kind of motor should I use? The boat doesn't have to be a speedboat.
>> Is it possible to use an ordinary electric motor, but instead of the 300w one with 600 or 900 watt?
>> I'm a bit concerned about the power of the batteries going straight to the motor. The orriginal set-up got the motor handwarm, but since I changed the pulley, its becomming, well, hotter.
