Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converted motors / Torqeedo props / steering just by motor...

 

Yes, we used to drive a 44' Nelson on the River Thames, with forward/astern throttle on the port/starboard engines we could steer in case of rudder/steering failure. We used to do it for fun also.

It's good to see it can be done with torqueedo prop or similar for electric boating also.

John, here's a U Tube video that shows a guy that has something like I think you're talking about.

It shows how maneuverable it is starting at 55 seconds.
