Re: [Electric Boats] Results on paper including new under way dc voltage draw and amp draw

Clarifying 1100 was full tilt tied to the dock. And 1337 was the highest achieved rpm while under way

Just going to have a look at this in a table. Sounds much better

The gear ratio does NOT affect the HP
The gear ratio DOES affect the torque so for a reduction ratio like yours multiple the torque by the ratio and you have the torque at the prop

For an overdrive ratio divide the torque by the ratio – ie torque output falls

significant less amp draw while under way

My actual pulley ratio now is 4:1 = 1100 rpm as high as fast as it will turn so if changed to 6:1 would get up to 1650 rpm ( im guessing a little higher with the extra 33% torque )

HI J ,     The transmission remains in neutral while the electric motor turns the propeller shaft .    When I want to go fast I take off the elecric motor belt , start the big diesel and put the transmission in gear.          The big diesel is 120 HP and pushes the boat to aprox 7-8 mph.

Hi Orest,

I don't know that a 3 HP motor can run that transmission. what size motor
was originally connected to that transmission?
