Big Boy Feigao 580L

Wouldn't one of these work? http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...?prod=gnd-4198

Hmm.. My 31" Olympia Hydro may need a new power plant.

The 580 is listed at 1800 W
1800 devided by 22.2V = 81A max

The KB45 is listed at 3000W
3000 devided by 22.2V = 135A max

It would seem to my that the KB45 would be a better motor with more power.
Also you can get a water jacket on it to keep it cool.

My first thought on this data is that the KB motor is listing it's Burst max W, and the Fiego is listing it's continuous W... I may be wrong...

I also bet that the Fiego is a better quality motor than the KB.... I've heard the KB motors don't perform up to their rated specs, but that's just what I've heard... I've never tried one...

The KB45 is 1500 watts continuous with water cooling/ 2700 watts 30 second burst.

So I am guessing the Feigao 580L is 1800 watts continuous with water cooling / 3000 watts 30 second burst.

This is taken from the offshore Website

How can you say it is 1800 watts continuous with water cooling,
When you can not put a water jacket on it with the screw heads on both ends.

That all sounds good, Have you done it yet??
Are the screws put in with thread lock??
Did you strip the screw heads trying to get them out??
Did they stay tight after you put them back in??

Big question is does the water jacket fit without leaks??

Geeeez.....never been threatened on here before about a private message.

You are correct. I did not mean to contradict your statement. That is just what I had personally recommended for KB motor from experience and was guessing at the 580L.

Why send me a PM saying that your numbers are your own personal opion.
The numbers I posted are posted on the Offshore Web Site.

You posted some numbers, but forgot to tell everone that they are your personal opion.

You must remember that a lot of other people read this to try to find true Info.

I respect Steven enough to believe that the info on his web site is true.

My threat as you call it was to state that your numbers are only your personal
opion.

Cause its best to keep this kind of chatter off the site.

Agreed! Now back to the subject at the matter and keep the threats and distasteful comment in private or somewheres else.


Boy that 580L looks some good!!
I cant wait to hear some results.

Sweet Buddha...It'a simple piece of machinery...why all the angst
In the absolute worst case Screws can be removed even if locked into place via cyanoacrylates with a little heat...ruined threads can be retapped and screws replaced.
You'd think I was promoting kitchen table brain surgery

First let me say that I would not have offered and marketed a motor for our boating community that would not accept some sort of water cooling.

The below picture was not going to be posted but I thought since some have had some questions I would post it. The reason for not posting is that the jacket is rather tight, but will fit with patience. I hope to have something along the lines of Feigao XL jacket/ Neu jackets in a month or so.
