I used to go snow boating when we would get enough snow,that is when I used to run electrics. It was real fun to get some boating in during the winter. But now I run big gas weedeater boats and they don't do very well at 25+ lbs.

I never knew this was a thing that could happen! It makes sense after seeing it, but still . . . get lots and lots of wax on that boat! Whatever skiers use I guess? I wonder how much work it would take for you to keep everything in the current locations but use a flexible prop shaft and mount a fan on the back of one of these boats? |

I can believe you guys don't burn them up doing this. No water cooling plus what must be WAY more current draw must make them warm. I guess it is fine for short bursts. Funny either way though!

No water cooling ! People call me an idiot cause the boat is gonna cook off the electrics , lol Same system as the frist time I did it , I also run this baby in the water , same setup . It really doesn't get hot . Short runs for sure . Is there more or less draw than water you think ? I think less ? I could be wrong though . | |

Why not put one of the watt meters with temp sensor in your boat for a few runs, and then do the same in the water, and know for sure? Also will know if you're choking on not enough battery, too .. There's a few on the market that do temp, but I am not sure which ones they are, exactly.
