    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 absolutely love this series of videos, I just got out of racing rc a few years ago and recently started researching these bixpy/torqueedo setups and was just wasn’t understanding why the performance was so bad, I’m super stoked to see someone using parts from the rc industry and a little machining know how to truly build a performance e-drive for our beloved kayaks. 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.

    So far this is what I'm considering
    - using that KV360 motor
    - 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.

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 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.

    Hello brother I have some questions. I got 55lbs thrust Newport vessel. My question is how to put more power, long last battery and every time I put into 5 gear it only last less than an hour the battery power. Battery I have now is 12v 45A. I like ur video. Thank u from bali

      Hey brother. Trolling motors are great at moving a big object slowly. They become very inefficient when trying to move a small boat quickly. I want to work on a prop design that helps turn more of the torque into speed. Keep watching!

    I just bought a used torqeedo for 800 dollars. It came with the ball mount which I don't think I like so i was going to by the other mount type which is 300 dollars. But after finding your videos I nay wait and not install the torqeedo at all. How long before this will be available to purchase or solid instructions where I can build this myself? And what would the toyal cost be?

      @@TheGoodoftheLand Question what type of speed controller are you using. That is able to handle the Amps. I have been trying to do something similar with drill batteries and an old trolling motor I had around that works. I like how easy it is to connect and disconnect and put to charge. And a big plus is if you buy ridgid brand batteries they have a lifetime replacement. And I know that the motor draws the most load when first starting to push and its about 15 amps. I was also looking into a puls with modulation.
