    So the motor and esc is more suited for a fast boat.

      Yes, the speed is essential for the water pickup.

        If it were me I'd go with one of these https://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pr...clr-hh-prb2314 and a 6 or 700 size brushed motor. If you are interested and can't find a suitable motor let me know. I still have quite a few new BOSCH (700 size) drill motors that I used in my scale boats. That was all I did before I got the speed bug & I'll get back there one of these days. The BOSCH motors run well with the above control 12v gel cell and 45mm 3 blade scale props.
        I just purchased the last ESC they had in stock, they are now discontinued!

          I'm not surprised. I don't know how many of them I have owned. I think I still have four or more in boats. All of them have been trouble free. Good luck with the restoration!

          This thing has two of the Bosch, Proboat set ups in it. I built it around 12 years ago. It now resides in Fla. divrec.jpg

            Thanks, now all I need is a motor, which I am sure I can find locally. It is tough being a scale boater, 90% of the shops around me sell car or air products and what boat equipment they do sell is for the fast stuff!! Most likely will not be able to do much until mid Jan. Thanks all for the help and I will post again with results. Happy Holidays everyone.

                  For low speed water cooling I plumbed in a hobby fuel pump to my cooling system and it worked great . My setup was fairly complex , used check valves and made my own circuit that closed at full left turns and a thermal switch for auto turn on/off.. A system like this is simple for your app, you would just turn it on and go ! Whatever direction you go there should be no worries of over heating unless you go really high on motor kvD5044B6F-E010-4FE5-87D7-FE9CF89ADA72.jpg
