[Electric Boats] Hello

 

Hello I just joined. I own a Pearson Triton 28' sailboat that I plan on using electric power for. I have a small amount of information but I always like more. One of the biggest questions I need answered is the speed of the motor. Lets start out with a golf cart type motor. Does it have the same power at 800 rpm as it does at 1,600 rpm? Do you want to use a reduction drive on an electric motor if you are going to run it at a slower speed?

Does an Electric motor work the same as an ICE as far as gearing it down? With an airplane you get more hp the faster the engine goes so putting a reduction gear on gives you more hp.
