Great to see some intelligent design work, and forward thinking on your part. I've been building electric drive vehicles and electric boat motors as a hobby for many years, and as an electronics technician I can see you are right on track. The only thing I saw that is a concern is your water heating idea. There is a real danger with tepid water temperatures for bacterial blooming, especially legionella. To prevent it from happening, you need to keep the water temperature above 140 degrees F, ideally 158-176F. You could always supplement the heat source to achieve it, and unfortunately even pass through heaters will not sterilise the water, as it takes up to 25 minutes at the mentioned temperature range for that to occur. Anyway, hope it is progressing well. Cheers.
Very thorough,i like the temp warning and circut breakers! Can i ask what you did with the water intake/impeller now that it isnt needed to cool the old power head do you remove it and fill with silicone or somthing?
Thank you for your comment. It may not be the same to power a larger boat. I can carry my electric outboard in one hand. Your outboard motor is bigger and heavier by design. It is all up to your creativity and technical skills, if you could use a bigger DC motor with a chain sprocket gear to the propeller shaft, to regulate the RPM and desirable speed. You would also need a larger battery pack. It can also be done without heavy batteries and power inverter, if you were using a quiet portable power inverter generator over 2500 - 3000 running watts and with a speed (voltage) regulator for 120 V AC. You would need an AC-DC diode to power a DC motor. In this hybrid setup you could run your electric outboard for many hours. If you are a DIY person looking into more possibilities and challenges, it can be done your way.
@@twinvideoproduction9662 Thank you again. Also for watching my video of the birds trail. I will find out the way to update my boat. Generators are not an option. Too much noise, too unstable for the ocean and too toxic to have it on a boat. I will use it only if get stranded with no battery juice. otherwise is bad idea.
Thanks for the effort. And i like your voice over. 👍🏼
Thank you. Just getting some ideas, and your video has many. Peace from KY USA.
I'm trying to do this same thing with a 6hp motor I have and your video was a great inspiration and guide. Thank you!
Good luck!

very good love the safety limits .
This is awesome!
i love this idea you did a great job wow out standing thanks for the information wow .
Should kept water impeller.. wrap the motor in copper tubing with discharge. would stay much cooler
Nice job, good video. Well done.

Thank you for your comment. Did exactly what you were asking me.
Very good tutorial. I have an old 1990 boat with 2 stroke 225 HP evinrude. Do you thing that is possible to do the same as you did in mine? Thanks

NIce job! I am interested in doing a project like this myself. Do you have estimation about the cost?
Depends. I had many spare parts available. Thank you for watching.
