Re: [electricboats] Outboard Sizing Help Needed

Two motors versus one wins on redundancy.  But you're already going to at least one additional motor to get some redundancy... three/four motors is easily past a point of diminishing returns.

Downsides of two versus one motor (same total power) is more more cost, more weight and more drag.  The last two are probably not that large of a consideration given the actual numbers involved.

Possibly you could run a 24V or 48V motor from 36V with an appropriate DC-DC converter.  Downsides being some loss of efficiency (~10%) and an additional point of potential failure.  And those are harder to find at higher power levels, and costs go up beyond 1kW.
