You have the option of running the 32 volt motor on 48 volts. It would have a speed 33% faster and 33% more power.

Hi group, My 12 volt windlass motor went out and the whole unit is not worth fixing. I've been researching new ones. I've found a couple manufacturers that make ones that run on 24V and 32V. That got me thinking, I've got this huge 48V propulsion bank at my disposal. I called Ideal Windlass and they are checking with their motor supplier about a 48V motor. I believe they are DC series motors. If I can't get a 48V windlass, could I step down my 48V to 32V or even 24V? We are talking around 1500 watts. I'm wondering if I could parallel a few DC/DC converters, if they could handle the inrush. Is there a simpler way? Thanks, Chris
