[Electric Boats] Re: Top speed with Torqeedo 801 travel

 

Hi Neil,
Torqeedo dealer weighing in on this one.

None of the available higher pitch props will fit the old 801 without modification. I think that you could successfully modify one by filling the inside boring of the HP prop with epoxy and then drill out to the smaller diameter required by your motor. The outside of the hub should not be a problem.

These high pitch props are expensive however, and depending on what you paid for your motor might wipe out the good deal that you got. Alternatively with the right lightweight boat the higher reving T1003 with the replacement 3 blade prop is a easy, cheap, and well performing upgrade.
