Thanks joe for the information on the low cost
Tachs. I have several good expensive one for my real
life business but its nice to know that I can tell
someone about the low cost alternative. I think everyone
should have one if they are doing this type of a
conversion.<br> I'll look forward to getting the data from you on
the various type of props, hull speeds and shaft
speed. It will be invaluable for testing my model. <br>
So far I am getting results between 63-80 %
effencies in the best of casses most of the problem seem to
be in teh motors being used. Most of the motors
being used for boat conversion are of a traction motor
design and are more suitable for forklift and electric
golf carts and not t all suitable for use as a boats
propulsion system I am getting information from some
industrial Servo motor munufacturers and expect that I can
get effencies up to the 90% catagory.<br><br>Thanks
again for you help i'll be looking for the data. You
can e-mail me at Donaldbaer@...
