Steve;
what prop are you going to try on the first run?

If you are interested in using the ABC props, I can steer you in the direction of usage.

Steven any chance of getting some pics of the boat on the water?
I'd love to feature it in the calendar if you can get me some soon also a pic of the inside showing batteries and setup would be great!

Let me know.

Thanks

the sponsons are almost complete. I hope to get it out next weekend.

I'd love to know what you think for ABC?

I was planning on running a x457 or x460, but I'm open for suggestions?

Keep me posted I have a spot open I can fit it in if you can send me some photos!!
Also sent you a PM not sure if you saw I posted some pic of samples in my for sale thread.

Thanks

Steven;
use the 2214 and the 2314 props.
They have 78.232 (3.080") and 81.788mm (3.222") of pitch repsectively. BUT they have a hidden (so to speak) 4.34 inches of pitch
built into the trailing edge of the blades.
They are a more efficient prop then the octuras and you set them up with the strut being level.
Then you could go to a 2216 then 2316 if the amp draw is acceptable.

Thanks Carl!

Welcome Steven.

Steve, the ESC in that location may cause problems because of the looong battery leads. Cap bank or mount esc over motor and make a bubble hatch.
70 should be no problem.
Data logger a must at these power levels.
If you need info on how to convert the 150 amp ET to 300 amp in 15 min. let me know.

Would you let me know please?

Jim any news on that 150 - 300 modification?

On the wire lead ET, loop 12 ga. wire from esc side directly to batt. side bypassing the board entirely for both the + and - . This will bypass current, about 1/2, and let it run much cooler. In short, you now have a red wire and a black wire going from the + and - plugs on the battery side plugs directly to the plugs on the esc side plugs or two wires in each plug one set to the E/T and one set bypassing the E/T completly. I am using 8mm plugs! You now have a 300 amp logger!

Next you need to access a Clamp on amp meter, clamp it around the battery leads and run the system up under a load for 15 seconds or so logging the data and compare the amp readings between the them. The ET will have a reading of about 1/2 half of the clamp on meter.
Now connect your ET to the computer, go to "Advanced programing" click on "Calibrate volt and amps" and enter the actual readings in the appropriate boxes and save.

That all there is to it! Welcome to the 300 amp club! I have recorded 282 amps on rigger launch but the E/T only saw 132 amps because my correction factor turned out to be 2.12.

thanks! I think I understand, but a picture would be great.

OK, I guess I used less than a thousand words, so here are the pictures. lol
