Hum? 50 Amp hour 12v battery is 600 watts. (Volts x amps). So you battery can provide 600 watts for one hour. Base on your math, at 50% you were using 464 watts. So divide your 600 watts available by 464 used and thats 1.29 hours or roughly an hour and a half. 1.5 hours at 5 mph is 7.5 miles. No where close to 19.8 (Remember that you must convert amp hours, a measure of charge to watt hours a measure of current) For example 400 watts is about 33.33 Amp hours at 12v..... What did I miss???
@garrettwadefishing19 күн бұрын
It’s a 36 volt motor so I’m using a 36volt battery. That should help your math
@wiley071416 күн бұрын
Thank you I saw that they have options for 12, 24 and 36 systems. I'm gathering the higher voltage is basically equated into higher levels of thrust ?
@garrettwadefishing16 күн бұрын
@wiley0714 basically yes. Higher voltage can usually be more efficient also. I’ve run the 24volt NK180 and 36volt NK300. Both are great motors. I run 60 AH batteries on both setups and that has always been more than enough capacity for long tournament and prefish days.

Have you had any issues with water coming up through the rudder and skeg deployment holes? I put the 36v 40a battery in the front and directly behind the seat. From 3/4 - full throttle water was actually coming into that rudder control compartment and then into the hull via the control cords. I racked my brain on the “leak” until I removed the Hobie mount and saw the water inside that housing. Not a deal breaker as I did a silicone deal with those holes to make them smaller but still functional. Just something I need to be mindful of. Awesome setup you’ve got btw
@garrettwadefishing21 күн бұрын
It’s possible I get a little water from that. I do get water in my hull some trips. Could be from that or around the drive because I stand in the front most of the day. Never really had enough to be worried with. I just scoop it out at the end of the day.

@@garrettwadefishing that 300 makes it hard to not push it 😆. I think the day I really noticed it I went probably 5mi full throttle to see how she did. Not enough to really matter but enough to get me to investigate

My grandfather taught me the improved clinch knot when I was a kid. (I’m almost 60 now) He didn’t tell me it had a name. I don’t think he knew there was any other so I grew up not knowing there was any other knot. But I remembered it my whole life even after not fishing for a couple of decades.
