    Rule #1 - From R/C boat Hobby - Never run your ESC and waterlines with the rest of your electronics. Electronics should always be in a separate compartment. In addition, keeping your heat radiating esc in with your batteries wrapped in foam is doing no favors for either the batteries or the esc. You are asking for a fire hazard with esc if it blows and I've seen quite a few go up in smoke.
    Otherwise this truly is an awesome project. I very much enjoy watching the content. Another tip is to play with props for better performance. You'll get more speed, lower amp pull, and better battery life.

I should have 2 brand new crescent kayaks showing up any time now, if you would like to try your finished prototype on them I would absolutely be game! I’m in the north Louisiana area. By your hat I’m assuming you’re in the east Texas area where I grew up. If this sparks your interest, just let me know.

      +martijn verschuren I personally don't see my self blasting around the lake on a kayak but it is nice to have and adds another dimension to the sport. Same thing goes with a long range pack. It will be near impossible for me to run it out in a day but it's nice to have all that extra power at the ready. One thing that I was not expecting was the added safety of having the extra speed. There have been several occasions where I have had to power through a big wake or nail it to avoid a rude boater. It's nice to have and now that I have it I feel I need it.

Got a AK Durable supplies trek foil with carbon fiber mast. It is a 2000 wing which is huge. 3' mast and wing is about 3' wide. Should lift very easily 😉 got a beautiful board that local guy made. It's big but will go good with big wing and extra weight from battery and motor system i hope. Deck is 75L i think. 5'2" Everything cf. I will share videos when i get in the water😁 thanks for sharing. I will be sure to check vesc water connections and use clamps 😉 i got a little pump to circulate closed water system.

    Maybe, if you'd used Distilled Water (flushed the system, too!), your Batteries and ESC would NOT "Short-Out"...?
    (Pure H2O is a good insulator).
    I have a Titan (pedal powered), and am designing and fabricating a trolling motor, to take the place of the "pedal-power pack". Steering will still be by rudder, and it'll have a hand control on the Starboard Gunnel (like a "Real Power Boat" has). 5 forward/3 reverse speeds, and be able to "kick-up" like the peddle assembly does.
    Finally got a "Speedometer" on the Titan... A Lowrance Hook/2-7, with sideview and all (I can Find the fish, but can't make'em BITE!). Haha!

    - using the prop also
    - wiring 36v 40Ah (12s8p)
    - motor is placed midhull with deep drop feel free rudder.
    - speed controller
    - wireless battery life check box
    - 1/5 scale servo and piston to drop and lift motor
    - still figuring out cooling if needed
    Target is 4-5mph and long enough life for 6-10 miles offshore (25 total miles area) with emergency bank life left.

    I appreciate these videos you've been making. I've used some of your ideas for different kinds of mounts and stuff like that but I tried the electric route with the Newport vessels torqeedo style motor and I found that the real issue is you're just never gonna get a lot of range out of them. I tried 150 watts of solar panels to keep the batteries going longer, but with 2- 24 v 40 ah li po batteries(not cheap) it just doesn't go very far. So what I ended up doing was getting a Honda 2.3 horsepower outboard motor put it on the back of my Recon 120 and I get about 60 miles of range with a 3 gallon tank on the back, even at $5/ gallon it's a cheap and dirty alternative for people just want them get out there and go long distances at about 5 knots. I use a homemade Norwegian tiller system push to go left and then pull to go right. I guess it's the analog alternative, no error codes with your throttle boxes I found with all the electrical connections with the batteries on the ocean just is fraught with pitfalls. I do commend your tenacity in trying to find some good solutions for the electric motor on a kayak ,keep up the good work

    Excited to see the next video and also to find which motor you have got in mind for saltwater application!
    Do you think that creating a large battery pack of 18650 lithium ion cells would be a viable alternative to the lipo packs you're using Justin? I am sort of assuming that's what they use in the pack for the bixpy but I could be wrong. Loving these videos anyway thanks!

      +Jim D So I just recieved my batteries and they are awesome. I will be making an 18650 pack for one of the yaks but this pack is going to be a monster lipo pack. 120 8000mah lipos. It's a beast.

      @@TheGoodoftheLand wow that sounds epic! There must be a bit of mass in 120 of those dude. I looked on that discount battery site in your links for those 8000mah packs but could not see them. I'm waiting for more of your superb videos before spending money on kit, but meanwhile am harvesting good 18650 cells from dead laptop packs so I can assemble a good battery brick or two for my project.

    have you thought about a bigger prop or more pitch? it seems like you have the torque

    • @TheGoodoftheLand
      @TheGoodoftheLand  4 года назад +1

      We have the torque the problem is high amps. Need gear reduction so she can hit fullbrpm without pulling so many amps. Sounds crazy but in this setup we actually would get more speed out of a smaller prop.

      @@TheGoodoftheLand I like my Lowrance units. I currently use the Lowrance Elite Ti2 with 3 in 1 Active Image transducer. I've never really had to play with any of the settings...they work very well out of the box. The touchscreen feature makes them very user friendly. They are easy to customize what information you want to display on your screen ie. speed, depth, water temp., volt meter, etc.

    Axial bearing neede mayb? Nice project! Just a friendly tip, it will be hard maintaining the propeller happy once you increase rpm which is what more power means with that motor, due to cavitation. I would go for a solution that holds the rpm under 4 or at least 5krpm. I build marine bldc:s for a living fyi. Our 10kW direct drive is quite mych bigger due to this. Keep it up. I would love to see this work out for you!
