Re: [Electric Boats] Re: New member

 

Hi Curtis, thank you for the response.

Check out Newport vessels boat speed/thrust table. They say the higher the thrust the faster the boat goes....unlike Minn-Kota and others who say speed is not tied in with thrust. I don't know how Newport Vessels achieves the varying boat speeds amongst their various thrust choices.....higher rpms? Different blade pitches? Am interested in your experiments...let me know how things go.

Welcome Bruce,

I'm interested in improving the hydrodynamic efficiency of trolling motors as well as electrical efficiency. I have plans to experiment with different props and to build a wing to enclose the motor shaft. Also, PWM control, and capsize-proofing the whole propulsion system. So please keep us up to date, and feel free to ask questions.

Curtis
