Re: [electricboats] Mounting the sevcon gen4?

I should clarify that my gen4 is mounted on stainless steel sheet, which acts as a heatsink itself.  I've attached a sketch.  Hope this helps.

Dear Ryan,

The first question is whether the SEVCON GEN4 controller heats ...

A simple 6mm aluminium sheet can be used as a support and heatsink: https://www.kit-elec-shop.com/gb/mechanical-spare-parts/3298-support-plate-for-gen4-controller-63a-socket-and-emergency-stop.html

With a heatsink slightly larger than the controller, it is possible to first attach the heatsink and then the controller to the heatsink: https://www.kit-elec-shop.com/gb/parts-for-controllers/4344-aluminium-heatsink-200x330x25mm.html

Caution: The heatsink fins must remain vertical in the direction of the natural air flow.

And when the motor mount is designed to accommodate the controller, it's easier!  https://www.e-kart.fr/1638-kit-assembly-for-an-electric-boat-engine
