Got my in hull pickups in tonight. I used 2 of the duals for this. I don't like how the singles don't move much water so I figure each dual Y'ed into one line each for 2 lines, will get better flow.

I also took the stock cooling line hole and put a grommet in there with a aluminum plug. So now you pop the plug out and if there is any water in the boat you can drain it a little easier.

awesome idea bro, great way to get the last bit of water out
I'm doing that on my PT SS45

If your going to run 6s with that esc be sure to use a smaller prop..Mine runs warm on 5s with bec disabled with a x642..It runs about 100-105 in 50deg water..

Mike at 100 degrees that's perfect. Remember a normal ESC like the T180 are running perfectly at 100... Higher end ESCs can get up to 130. Keep in mind that typically electronics run best slighty warm

True but Im talking about 5s..Hes talking about running 6s..I wouldnt do it..Thats just me though..With a esc like a 180a, I would rather run a higher kv on 4 or 5s than push the esc all the way with 6s..
Just my 2 cents..

[jac4412]

Oh absolutely true I was just stating if you thought that 5s at 100 degrees was pushing it... it's optimal. "running perfectly".

[JPriami]

I see where your coming from on the pushing an esc to max. I feel the same way about maxing things. But I've done it with a t-180 b4. I've run a 4082 1500kv leopard and a t-180 in a 37" mono on 6s with a m445 m645 and. Even a x646/3. And it's been doing the job flawlessly and temps were good.
I would get a swordfish esc that can handle more lipo cells so I'm not maxing the esc, but I just havent broke down to buy one yet.

I have bought a data logger last week so it's in this boat. I'll be monitoring watts, amps, voltage, two temps esc and motor, throttle position, rpms, speed, and a few other things. So the goal is start small on prop. Record data. Review data. Prop up each time if all looks good.

[JPriami]

Think I'm done at last. Other than dialing it in and running. Rainy and windy today so no dice.

[JPriami]

Someone mentioned COG is about 9" As a good start. Is that from the back of the transom or the back of the sponsons?

[Rumdog]

Looks good. Not gonna offset the rudder?

[Rumdog]

I'd shorted up the motor leads on the esc too. She's packed tight, huh?

[JPriami]

Yeah it's a sardine can lol. I'm going to wait on shorting wires. I have another motor to try if this one dosent work out.

Made a grease catch out of a medicine bottle lol. I got tired of cleaning then grease ring in my other boats so I figured this might work

[JPriami]

Going to see how it goes before I look at offsetting rudder. I read diffrent things about it.

The 1518? That thing is a beast! I ran it on 5s2p in my 31" Rico and was getting 60 with a x548!
