Motor cooler spacer

[denboy01]

I've made up a spacer between motor mount and motor that allows air to flow through the motor, anyone tried it before?

I used to have one with fins cut in it for my old brushed car motor.

Air cooling is certainly a worthwhile extra if your motor has the holes nescisarry.

That looks very nice, but if I had the skill to make that, I would make a motor mount similarly shaped instead of the spacer, saving some weight, and getting a smoother air path.

Having now tried it out I think that as the air inside a sealed hull warms up that any extra cooling effect is lost

Don't give up on it,
Every little bit helps.

I put the extra holes in my motor mounts on every boat that I can.

Look at it this way.
The air in the hull never heats up to anywhere near the temperature of a motor. So it will have a cooling effect.
