HelloWayne, that was very interesting. Now you have to test how long they can run at full throttle????

@WayneTheBoatGuy

It wouldn't be a fair test since mine all have different batteries.

did you think about putting both the e motors on --twin e motors

Nice test between the three, now to decide between a Cadillac that's quiet or a Camaro that you can hear and is faster. They are both great electric motors, Great video WtBG.

Buy. The camaro

I use my Epropulsion motor on my 6.2 metre yacht weighing about 1200kg. For most of the time I run the motor at about 300-500W which gives great economy. I only run it at full throttle if I’m against a strong tide or strong headwind. These electric outboards are not about top speed.

How many motors would be needed for waterskiing?

Been waiting for this video wayne, great test! I thought it would be faster. Now when you say trolling motors run out of power faster is kind of false, on my application (enduramax 55lb thrust with the APC prop) I get an average top speed of 4.4mph and it can run for 5.5 full hours on my battery (draws 26 amps from my 35lb 150ah lifepo4 battery). I did a budget trolling motor to electric outboard and got 5mph from it (86lb 24v trolling motor with an APC prop) it's only .2 mph slower than the NT300, draws the same power (42 amps at 24v or 1000w). Your top speed confirmed my research when I was trying to make a trolling motor faster, it's not the actual electric motor, but rather the prop!! Thanks Wayne!!!

@@WayneTheBoatGuy it does, so the higher the voltage, the lower the current draw on a motor under the same load, the nt300 draws about 35amps at full speed, my "trolling motor outboard" draws 42 amps at top speed (5.0mph). Now that seems like my motor draws more overall power but that's false, this is why most companies use watts (volts × amps = watts) so my motor was drawing 1008 watts while the NT300 draws 1260 watts.

Further to the fact that the Minn Kota's a trolling motor, it's propeller's pitch won't let it exceed the speed you had it at. I suggest a second test where you mount these motors on a much bigger boat and see how they stack up.

@omieyouknowme

.minnkota is also a brush motor, will run hotter and brushes wear and add a bit of resistance. It is 100 year old technology, you can make the minnkota run faster with a 60a pwm controller and say 24-36v battery. I've done this on a 55lb thrust use it as a kicker yah it shortens it life to push more watts.

I'm no Wake-Whisperer or anything, but with how much wake you were producing with the NT300, I bet you would have the same experience with a much larger boat. With that said, if you were able to get a different pitch on the prop, I'm sure you could get some more speed out of it on that 12' boat.

If you’re looking for speed I think that motor is more appropriate for a dinghy - bigger motor would perform better on that aluminum boat. Their Navy Evo line would be better.

AU$ - EP & RT ~$3.5k. WS ~$800. Ali 48v 260lbs 10hp ~$700. Could buy 5 vs EP. But, hopefully, by the time the 1st is no good, like cell phones, something better will be available, still have battery to suit anything.

The 7.5e looks nice but costs a lot more. They have some larger ones that are just coming out now.

I bought a 1.3hp 4 stroke motor and a intex excursion 4. What top speed can i expect (with me 70kg + other person 60kg and some 20kg gear). My goal is at least 5km/h maybe 6-7

@WayneTheBoatGuy

9 ай бұрын

I would imagine you might get 5 km/h since that motor is similar in power to a trolling motor. Wind and currents could be challenging. I usually see small dinghies and inflatables using electric or gas motors in the 2.5 - 5 hp range.

@sparklauerei1

okay thanks. Maybe i should have bought a 3hp motor, but I'll see if i wasted the 250$. I only use it as a chillax boat on a smal 10 x 1km lake without any current. And i dont go out if its windy@@WayneTheBoatGuy

I like my 4 stroke.

I think a lithium battery with the trolling motor would be a good option. You wouldn’t increase speed but could go all day

Here is something to consider when looking at electric motors - If you sink, the lithium in the batteries will react with the water. In fact, lithium will burn underwater. It makes a very pretty pink flame when you submerge pure lithium. I have seen it many times, as I worked with lithium for several years. It also makes the water highly caustic. I have personally seen several people receive some pretty nasty chemical burns because they got their hands wet in lithium contaminated water. E-motors, boat or automotive, for all their hype are absolutely not environmentally friendly. They are certainly not something I would put in my boat.

@omieyouknowme

While I agree with everything you said, leaking pipeline or one busted tanker spewing crude is far more damaging than 1 or 100 lithium batterys that may be exposed to water. There is no right answer everything has a penalty

Is this eprop weedless?

@WayneTheBoatGuy

No, the props on the Newport and ePropulsion are more like 2.5 and 3.5 hp outboard props.

80lbs 12v is the bigger now

Miles per hour? Why don't you use knots like a real boatie? I'd like to see the same test but with a full load of provisions/fuel/water drums in open water into a 10 knot headwind and against a full spring tide current.

I'm able to hit 6.7mph on my canoe, I wonder what's the fastest anyone has taken the NT300 so far... My next build is going to be wheelbarrow, me, nt300. hahaha. 8mph here i come.

6.7 - That's awesome!

The electric outboards are amazing. But for $50 you can find an old 6 hp Johnson evinrude that will push that little boat 15 mph and you will be able to fish and use the boat ALL day long on a 3 gallon can of gas. You don’t need to by $1,000 worth of batteries to run it. I understand small lakes that don’t allow gas motors…..but those old gas outboards are a dime a dozen and they run forever if you take care of them. You could literally buy 30 small outboard motors for what one of those e propulsion motors cost. Just my opinion.
