You've asked for it, and now we are making it a reality!
The goal of this video was to present what we have learnt over the past few years of building/running this DIY outboard; in hopes to make your DIY projects slightly easier😃
And remember, do as we say, not as we do😉
Next up in the build series, a look at the electronics that power this setup!
EDIT. Part two is here! • Make your own electric...
------------------------------------------------------------------
A rough list of what is needed for a DIY electric outboard conversion:
Recommended aluminium thickness for bottom plate: 3mm or more if using more powerful motor
Aluminium thickness for a cover: 1.5mm
Stainless steel or aluminium everything!

@tony.engineering3265 It'd be an honour for the guy to rip the build to pieces😅
Hey mate! Looking to build one of these (using parts from your website) and throw one on a small 2013 bayliner- do you think the power will be sufficient?
Howdy @duliomartinez8238!
Not sure as to the size of the boat, you'll need to give me some details of that. But I got ur email and have replied, so we can hang out there 😀
/John
Holly cow no wonder that boat flew. That’s a motor to power a plane. 300 amp ability. Ohh my. The battery have to be a monster.
Awesome
So true @Guy Ruff😅😅 No mucking around here😅😅 Power to the people!!!🍻🍻
We'll be doing the battery video next week👍👍
@@johndehosson that much battery be freaky expensive
@@ThailandAmazing You always get what you pay for, as you know⚡ I think the quality and size we have reached is at a cost point which gives good returns for everyone, so it's going to be fun to get that out to everyone.👍 Fair play to all🍻
thank you this is awesome.
how many watts does it use? And the power it provides? How fast does your boat go with that power?
Hi @Matthew! All the answers are in the videos, but in short, I think it is about 8-10kW, and our little boat tops out at about 25kph. Have a great day! /John
What kind of motor is that? I have an old 25 horse outboard lower and would like to give this mod a try. Building a solar powered booze cruiser out of an old pontoon boat, nothing fast, but I'm having a hard time finding a powerful enough motor to drive it.
What kind of controller do you use to control the throttle of the motor. And I was curious how the wiring works.
Hi Cory! Sorry we omitted that detail! We'll cover it in a coming video, but in short: a Traxxas controller/receiver connected to a port on the ESC 👍
REALY SPOOLS UP. GREAT !!!!
Oh it sure does!😁
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
/Jack
Hi
I belive i have seen a video where you built it from the beginning using wood and along that video there was a list if i remember right, either attached to the videodescription or like a pdf or something of all the parts used with partsnumber and where to buy them?
Or have i just dreamt that? :)
I´m seriously considering building one of these of youre design when you released the second video cause i love my fishingboat but hates the sound and polution it makes :P
Really looking forward and great job,really appreciate it!
Hi Mikael! Nice to have you around, is it at all possible we may even have chatted at one stage? Har för mig att vi sågs på nåt forum? :) And yeah, you're attentive as! There is a video of the wooden model, a parts description and list floating around somewhere, just not sure where anymore! Hope you can do your own build, and that the next videos answer your questions around the ESC and batteries. After that, just scale it to what you want! /John
I’m digging this idea or reusing an old outboard.. my question is, where you find this motor?
www.marsons.se
👍👍
/John
I have a 3hp old Johnson motor that I'm thinking about doing this too since the motor is passed it's prime. What I would like to do is put the original hood and lower cowling over the electric motor to keep the classic look.
Hey Tim!
Jack here!
Love that idea! Personally wanted to do it with this one, but for ease of installation with the original design (non flipped axle) we just built a custom box. An original hood would also have enough space to accommodate some sound proofing! That would make it a really quiet setup for trolling or simply not waking the neighbours😃
Good luck with your project! Keep us up to date👍
Cheers🍻
/Jack
Oh, was heat an issue?
Not when water cooled👍 Can't run it as hard as we do without it though. We ran it passively air cooled for a while to test and ended up frying a motor😅
Hi guys , love your work. I am very interested in this electric motor stuff . I was wondering would a washing machine motor be good to use and what type of battery set up would I need?
Hi @Daniel Galvin!
Thanks for dropping by! A bunch of parameters need to be decided when choosing a motor. I'm sure you could get a washing machine motor to work, but it could be tricky when pairing with controllers, batteries etc.
There are some good quality motors, which aren't too expensive, like the one you can get from our website, which are probably much better to use. At the same time, it could be a real lot of fun getting a washing machine motor to work!
Regards John
@@johndehossonyour website link?
@@azlantornado86 www.marsons.se 👍
@@johndehosson tq.
Great project and one I’m itching to do. Bit late to the party but could you explain exactly how the cooling works for the motor? Are the tubes just stuffed in the box or is there some kind of liquid heat exchanger in that motor?
Also I’m thinking if you used the original cowl with some judicious venting you might be able to manage the heat more easily due to the likely larger internal air space.
Hi @motorv8N !
No heat exchanger, purely runs water through the water mantel in the motor, and you're right of course, the more cooling, the better!
/J
@@johndehosson - hey thanks for the reply. I guess mantle is what I meant - I.E. that motor is designed to have water lines plugged into it.
Great video, couldn't find the link to purchase the motor. Who makes the motor and what's the model number. l want to purchase one do they have a website
Hi @Lewis Martin!
It should be back on the website now, we needed to adjust some of the watercooling on it. :)
Regards John
In the link in the description for motor is with the shaft comming out from the top. Is there a way to buy the motors with the shaft comming from the bottom?
Howdy @MagmaBoy, just let the guys know when you order how you need it mounted👍Have a good one🤘🍺
@@johndehosson Great thank you 👍
Anytime👍
What run time/ distance could you cover eith this on your battery pack?
Hey mate!
Jack here!
With this old battery we used to get 5-10kms of range. With our current battery setup of 4.8kWh, we can get 10-15kms of open water running of the airboat. Haven't tested with an outboard just yet, but should be upwards of 20-25kms at cruising speed... So plenty for most I'd say :)
Have a good one🍻
/Jack
Bro where we can get one of the motors and how much sounds fun
Hey there CHOWiX!
Jack here!
You can purchase that exact motor from our website as of today🥳

Wow, great work! I'm sorry for asking that but, what about the battery, voltage and what kind of motor is that? maybe you said those things but my English is very poor and I missed it.

Hello thank you for reaching out . Let me give you some of what I have and whT I am trying to do . First I have a 1968 glastron 150 gt . A go fast sky type . It currently has a 70 hp evinroude outboard on it that is almost dead . Now put of not have thousands to throw at a new motor gas / electric plus electric has market is not looking at boats like mine . Now I would ultimately like to make the equivalent of 70 hp to 115 hp with my 70 hp gear case under an electric power plant .
Hi @KellyRafferty! Looks like you need a larger electric motor, probably around the 50kW mark. Head for some strong batteries, and you should be right to go. Electric will be overwhelming when it comes to torque, so be ready, it's fun! /John
Nice job fellas. Hope to make me one this year. Like the comment on the video too.
Hi @Victory First! Thanks for dropping by! Make sure to participate in our competition for one of the motors in the other video! /John
@@johndehosson I will do just that this week fella. Thanks for letting me know.

Would a microwave magnetron do anything crazy connected to this?
Hi @matthewburns6868 !
We love trying stuff, wrecking it, and blowing it to pieces, and my thought is that a microwave magnetron could do just this! 😅
Only problem is, we don't have the cash to do it all the time! 😅

What esc are you using? & battery voltage?
Hi Tom! More infor on ESC and battery config in the next two videos, and reasoning why. But in short, ESC: APD 28UHV, batteries 24S Lipos. Thanks for your question, hope to answer them in full in the coming vids! /John
hello not clear to me is the electric motor cooled by the water from impeller if so HOW ? also what type of motor what did it come from or buy direct from where ?? what horse power etc
Hi @henrybagley8507 !
All info on hardware website: www.marsons.se
Watercooled via impeller, check video for details, it is connected by hose :)
Thanks for dropping by!
/John
Damm Just bought one. What sort of range do you get? You sound like a couple of Aussies.
Hi @MotorSailingforOldDudes!
Range is about 15-20kms, depending if we take it easy. But generally we just gun it because we only have short distances to go😅
/John
What HP are you trying to mimic , battery voltage did you install
Hi @Karl! In this writing moment, I'm not sure exactly what we run (it is in the video somewhere), but (I think) we output around 8kW for daily use. /John
Ok found link. Your on a roll. Seriously you should build pre made kits of all the stuff. So guys like me can order it. And you make some cash.
@Guy Ruff, thanks! An absolute honour you think Jack and I are worthy of that! To make things better, we're actually doing that! Within about two weeks we will be releasing the website for our electric airboat and outboard. Full builds or kits, it's all happening!👍👍 For our part, we're just stoked if you can share it around and get us some subscribers and likes, that really helps us a lot👍👍🍻
What are you cooling since there is no combustion engine?
Hi there @mr.mikesart7111 !
Jack here!
Believe it or not, but electric setups generate quite a bit of heat as well! Especially if you run them right on the limit of their specifikations as we do😅
To mitigate this issue we ran two cooling loops from the impeller. One through the motor, and one through the ESC. As said, if you are willing to settle for a 'milder' tune, you could possibly get away without cooling, but since we want all the power we can get, cooling is our only option, unless we rebuild the setup with "over-speced" components. However that would add unnecessary cost & weight.
Thanks for watching! Feel free to subscribe for more electric builds⚡
/Jack
I don't quite get how you cool the motor. Is it just air cooling and the air is cooled by having the hose go through the casing?
Hey there @tilmaen!
Jack here!
The motor is being water cooled. The plastic hoses you see run from the original piping of the bottom unit, from the impeller, up through the motors internal water cooling jacket, and out the back of the casing👍 Water cooling is absolutely necessary unless you run the motor at very low speeds! These things produce a lot of heat, and can potentially fry themselves within minutes if not cooled properly!
Hope that answers your question!
Thanks for watching🍻
/Jack

You're not the only one asking, so sorry about the pain!😅 Please check back Monday,, or jump on our mailing list for the info which we'll send out about this late Sunday night, early Monday👍 /john
Definitely use a wider housing. Minimizes wear
Maybe yeah😅 Shouldn't really be necessary if you keep away from the mistakes we made... flipping the motor and mounting it directly to the bottom plate pretty much eliminated any alignment issues we had to start with! But yeah, maybe a few millimeters of extra clearance would be good, just so if any debris gets in it doesn't scuff up those beautiful motors🙃
Thanks for sticking around🍻
/Jack
@@johndehosson that's my thought. Always have a good bit of clearance
Hey guys what is that specific motor and the specs? I may build one. I live on a sailboat and a set up like that would be nice. I make my own power thru solar for my home(sailboat). Would like to have an electric motor for my dingy vs my 6hp 4 stroke that I’m using now. Cost me $0 dollars to charge my lifepo4 battery banks including whatever battery I would use for the outboard. Thanks for your time

Thanks Cameron!
Glad you liked it😊

Nice conversion. Two questions: 1) Which videos (if any) explain the cooling system, and the motor specs? 2) Maybe my currency conversion was goofed up, but are you really selling a stand-alone electric motor (raw part) for $5,000 USD?
Hey onesimpleidea!
Jack here!
1) On this build we are cooling the motor of of the stock impeller in the bottom unit. We just ran some plastic tubing from the old water cooling pipes, to the inlet of the motors water cooling jacket👍 (The ESC and battery for this setup where air-cooled)
You can find the specs on the motor here: www.marsons.se/marsons-omv1-zq5hxp
2) Yes, something must have gone wrong. The motor will cost ~500-550 USD (~5000 SEK) with shipping included, once it goes on sale😊 Sorry for the inconvenience, I will check the site to see if there is anything I can do.
I hope this answered all your questions😊
Cheers🍻
@@johndehosson Hi. Thanks for the good reply. One suggestion -- next time it seems to fit when you're making a video, you should explain the cooling system in more detail. That part is not intuitive (squirting water on electronics). I know you're not really doing that, but how to keep those separate and make it function takes some explaining for anyone not already involved in your project.
@@johndehossonlink doesn’t work btw
@@boathemian7694 brand new website and shop coming within about 48 hours! Sorry about that!
I was wondering if that motor could replace my 8hp diesel in my sailboat?
One of the causes of MS is insulin resistens, so if one cures that the effects of MS could be reduced. IR you cure with the carnivore diet, no carbs in and the problem goes away.
Hi @Servant_of_Christ !
Thanks for watching, and yes the motor could replace your sailboat motor. You can check out the specs here: www.marsons.se
Thanks for your kind remark about MS, it is correct that diet/excercise/lifestyle have a huge impact on the wellbeing of a person with MS. I've basically eaten plant-based for years, and my physical ability is classed as "elite sportsperson. When I found out I had MS a few months ago, I educated myself extensively in the topic, and have trimmed a few things that i identified could be improved. Together with great medication, I am doing really well.
Thanks again, have a great day!

Thank you for your reply so 50 kw still only gives me 3500 rpm max . My 70 hp outboard low rpm is 4300 . To 6500 full Throttle. I very much want to keep the ski value of my boat ! As much as I would like to go electric it just dose not compete with gas for power to movement ratio . Maybe someday electric will get there I just not seeing it now . Thank you again for the reply
Cheers Kelly! Thanks for dropping round! If you beef up your battery voltage you will get the rpm you need, so don't give up on that electric dream!⚡⚡ and btw, our little waterskiing boat will be kitted with a massive electric motor sooner than later, so stay tuned!!💪💪
@@johndehosson wish I had some that truly understand electric to work with to make this possible. I will keep watching. Mostly I do not get power to drive ratio.
A more aggressive prop would be cheapest. Or 50% higher voltage and a new controller. New batteries must match profile of old ones. (Amps)
How about a Nissan leaf motor? 140+hp and 18,000 rpm will a jet drive. Safer, faster and you can buy a wrecked leaf cheaper than a new 70 HP new outboard. With a roof on boat go solar charging. Charges M-F ready Sat. Lol, free fuel forever.

750 watts =| hp. So you need a 5o kw (50,000w) electric motor.
Salut ! Sunt din Romănia si poți sa-mi trimiți pînă la cel mai mic detaliu despre motor electric boat ? Kw ? V ? Ah ? Batery litiu ?...etc fenchiu !❤

Don't start you're bolts with impact or screw gun. Great video guys, that just got me
As we say in oz: "Gotta risk it to get the biscuit" @Chris 😂 Thanks for dropping by, love having you here😂
Can you use it in saltwater?
Hi @Gilbert Cordina! I'd say that would be fine. Check electric corrosion, use an anode, and possible separate cooling with a heat exchanger and this would be a sure fire way to do it in saltwater! Thanks for dropping by! /John
plans to instalhomemade gheenoe and put a electric motor inside plans
That'd be awesome @Edwin Rivrera
Can you tell me the parameters of this motor? I want it too.
Hey mate!
Doing a bit of work on our website at the moment, so for motor purchases, please hit us up using this email adress: info@marsons.se
We ship world wide😊
Cheers🍻
To increase the efficiency and finally the autonomy, it would have been better to put the motor in a Pod and have it directly drive the propeller, under the boat.
Hey there @tonyrebeiro !
Jack here!
I fully agree! Pod motors are the way to go. HOWEVER, they are more difficult to build for all the DIYers out there, and so far, we haven't found a pod off the shelf that is powerful enough for our needs. When we do, you can bet that we will switch to it!
We are as a matter of fact testing a few now, so we will have a video out in a few months concluding our tests!

Why even keep the impeller at all instead air cooled?
Thanks for your idea @u812grern7 , but air cooling isn't enough for our application, so we use water-cooling🍻😅
[I, WOULD LIKE TO BUILD ONE OF THESE OUTBOARD MOTORS TO. I, WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH A BIGGER HP ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR A 23FT. CABIN FIBERGLASS SEARAY BOAT. IM. GOING TO SHARE THIS VIDEO WITH 2 OF MY BOAT FRIENDS TO. THANK, YOU FOR YOURE VIDEO.]👍
Hi @Gerland Kent! Thanks for dropping by, and for sharing our vids! Make sure to participate in our competition for one of the motors in the other video! /John
what did it all cost
Hi @grumpysmurf74 !
Not sure if I actually have a total cost on this one, but if you check out our website www.marsons.se you can get the motor and controller price (at least the controller we are using now).
Have a great day!
/John
Batteries?
Howdy @user-sy8js4uq4c ! THere is a vid about the battery build for this 👍Have a great day! /John
So that motor is 12 kv? or 80kv?
@detochosp4876 It is 80kv /John
It has nothing to do with power. 80Kv = 80rpm/ volt . So if you drive it with 100v , it is possible to get 8000rpm.
So…it only leaked oil when it had oil, and only until it ran out of oil?
Pretty much😅
But hey, no oil no problems... right?!😆
Thanks for watching🍻
