Re: [electricboats] Maximum input voltage for outboard?

Agree with 48v. Saw datasheet and the 1500rpm is needed to get thrust and minimal speed.

Hi,

It's worked great, and seems to have a great prop on it. It really needs, though, to be run at 48 volts, rather than 24. They advertised it as being able to run at 24 or 12, but that's just a proportional decrease in thrust, so not a terribly useful feature.

It looks like I may be removing all the electrics from my boat in order to sell it. No one seems to be interested in it otherwise. So the Karvin (and batteries and panels) may be for sale separately soon.
