Ive always been wanting to add some motors to a kayak. Im just looking to see what anyone with some experience would have to say about how it might run.
Im not saying that it will work but looking at how a 12V Trolling motor on only a few amps can push a 10' Bass boat around the pond would it be unreasonable to think that the following setup might have a little bit of speed?
If it did, how overworked would the escs or motors be if at all?
I was thinking those huge Turingy motors from HK that someone had used for a go cart.
Proposed Setup: Two Submerged Drives, Stingers or Struts Under the Kayak
2x Turnigy 80-100-A 180KV Outrunners
2x Sentillion 200A HV ESC
12s 18,000mAH 35C (12s4p 4500mah)
2x Either Octura x482s or x670s
2x C.R. 0.250 Flex Cables
Would be about at 8600RPM
I also found a coupler that I could use for this motor with a built in adjustable slip clutch, or I could just use the soft start function on the esc.
I would think that id probably need bigger props, but then again they might be too big if they are submerged, maybe 100mm props?
Well let me know what you guys think about the idea.
