Re: [Electric Boats] Controller using torque vs. speed

 

Luke,

This should make no difference with you at the helm. A controller that is set
to control RPM will try to keep that RPM up no matter what power is required.
One that only trys to keep a set torque will not try to keep the RPM up and
will better control the power usage. Your speed may not stay consistent but
the power usage should stay more consistent. Come to think of it you may like
the results more.
