3-5 Kw 48v motor

shredderf16 All Messages By This Member #32169 Guys, I'm building a 12 foot cat dinghy. I'm probably going to go with the Elco outboard but thinking of a longtail type inboard instead. I haven't been following motors for a couple of years. Looking for a 3-5 kw brushless motor and controller. Please let me know of which motor you guys would pick. Thanks, Jerry Barth
steve sawtelle All Messages By This Member #32170 I’m building a Pocketship and considered a pod motor, but I read a paper that showed that the pod drag becomes a large percent as boat weight goes down; which does make sense. I just hadn’t thought of it that way. I’m thinking I’m going to use a epropulsion Evo with remote throttle, and raise it up when sailing. It does have regeneration, so I could put it down if winds are strong (needs over 4 knots to start regen). But again, the drag will be large on a lighter boat. -Steve toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Oct 28, 2022, at 5:58 PM, shredderf16 <Shredderf16@...> wrote: ?Guys, I'm building a 12 foot cat dinghy.

Mike hurley All Messages By This Member #32171 Love to see plans. What's the finished weight? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM, steve sawtelle via groups.io <swsyah@...> wrote: I’m building a Pocketship and considered a pod motor, but I read a paper that showed that the pod drag becomes a large percent as boat weight goes down; which does make sense.

So pretty light for a small cruiser. -Steve toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Oct 28, 2022, at 6:59 PM, Mike hurley via groups.io <redwood1957@...> wrote: ?Love to see plans.

shredderf16 All Messages By This Member #32173 Guys, I'm looking for a raw motor and controller. I'm going to do the Elco if it gets too hard. Advantages to long shaft are that I can gear it way down and use big model airplane props to figure out the optimal solution. I'm email buddies with the human speed record pedal drive guy in Australia so we can figure out rest once we have a good motor and controller.
