Re: [Electric Boats] Which controller for this motor?

That is a 180 volt motor and at that voltage only produces 1 hp, so at 48 volts would be less than 1/2 hp and it is too expensive. Try an Etek or other PM motor, like these http://www.cloudelectric.com/product-p/mo-me0907.htm

Hi,

I'm back to dreaming. (And maybe doing!)

I've got a chance to buy this motor and want to make sure I can get a controller that will work for it.

Any suggestions?

BTW: Is this a decent motor for my boat?

Which is a 16' rowboat with an inboard setup. I've got an old electric motor from a garden tractor in it now but don't want to get stuck with that direction because it takes a custom controller. If the 30 yr old motor ever dies I would have to toss the controller and start from scratch. I'm planning on running 36v to 48v using 3-4 12v batteries. I do have a really cool looking antique manual reversing switch so the controller doesn't have to do that.

Thanks,
