[Electric Boats] Re: hypothetical question...

 

Hi Michael,

I suggest doing a little research on the "White Zombie" an electric drag racer that has been running joined DC motors for quite some time. he has also used twin controllers to get past the 1000A controller limitations that existed for some time.

For boating purposes, I don't think that one needs to use two motors until you get much farther up the power scale. If you need them, 20kW motors aren't that difficult to source.

Fair winds,
