Myles,
My apology for our exuberance, I have been withholding information on our site until finial testing is done as there has been much interest in this motor. We have two installations for the 5kw done and Arby is very eager to get the product out, which I have been developing the website for.
As each boat is different, ie. displacement, prop size or other variables that affect any power curve a chart, showing unloaded power is the only one that would remain constant making a loaded power graph a sales tool only and will not represent what occurs in the "wild" with added variables such as topside wind, current and so on. If you have a workable suggestion as to how you would like to see a data graph done, or know of a standardized test that other companies follow, I will see if it is possible and have it done, for you.
If Arby says the motor is available I will have the site updated with as much information as he provides it but I have been planning on a March 01, 2010 release so we have enough product for those that have asked about it already from our site. Expect an updated website within 10 days.
If there is anybody that would like to see the motors in action (San Francisco Bay only) we would be happy to arrange for demonstrations by appointment only. Contact kmannell@advancedma
Thank you,
Kevin Mannell

Attention Manufacturers, suppliers and vendors:
If you're going to promote a new product on this forum, please provide a link or links to more information or anything that confirms that your product is more than just an uncharacterized prototype.
Members on this and other lists have gotten stung by new manufactures who don't do the due diligence to provide specifications and independent test data that allow verification of claims.
In this case, we have a claim of a 5kw, 48v model being available, yet the company website does not indicate this product exists: http://www.advanced
Further, we still do not see the torque/speed/
While it's perfectly fine to not put such information on one's website, I advise extra caution to anyone choosing components where specifications aren't made easily and openly available.
None of this is to say that the product(s) that this or any other vendor provides for sale aren't dependable, reliable or suitable for our electric boating needs.
But red flags go up for me, as moderator of this list, when a new manufacturer in this field promotes product and hasn't provided links or other information that supports verifying the claims in any way.

Welcome to Advanced Marine electric Propulsion, the direct drive solution. The 5kw 48v model has been testing out just fine, and is now available. Designed specifically for marine traction duty, sealed to 10' of water pressure, and no noisy gears or belts to stretch. It's cool running and maintenance-
Be Well,
Arby
