[Electric Boats] 10mph Torqeedo powered 16ft inflatable video

 

EPower Enthusiasts,
Here is a new video we shot with a Torqeedo 2.0kw tiller motor "5-6hp gas equivalent", high pitch prop, and Torqeedo Lithium Manganese battery powering a lightweight narrow 16ft inflatable. 89lb boat + 40lb motor + 44lb battery comes in lighter than the 195lb driver (yours truly). This makes a very capable combo where the maneuverability and handling felt `just right'.

I recorded 10.7mph top speed full throttle, and it would maintain 10mph even when backing off slightly. I was not measuring amp draw but full throttle should be about 83 amps, and maybe 65-70 or so to needed to maintain about 10mph for approx. 1.5 hours constant. I'll harvest more data when more time allows.

Please contact me off list for additional information, and thanks for the bandwidth.
