Re: [Electric Boats] Safety weekend

 

Thanks James, I had one before - not marine rated - which self destructed. But I had hopes to be able to add enough heatsink for passive cooling to work. (what I really want is to bolt it to a water heater! :)

I run normally at 40amps - but 40kts on the nose required 100 - luckily for only about a minute to clear the seawall. I am wondering if lowering the pitch on my prop would make sense? It's a 13x13 3-blade and I can definitely exceed max amps at full throttle. If I am understanding all the prop/pitch posts correctly that should give me more oomph (bollard pull?) at the cost of less top speed (which I never use anyway)

(sorry to the southers - heading out again today in some epic spring weather - you can brag come December)
