The mechanical loads on the motor are much higher in a boat (when the boat is jumping) than in a ducted fan.
Additional you have huge torque peaks in a boat but in a ducted fan and also with an airscrew you have constant torque.
So if a motor works well in a ducted fan or with an airscrew - it is no guarantee that the motor fits the application in a boat.
Plettenberg outrunners and large Hacker outrunner motors have always a third ball bearing to avoid mechanical forces on the rotor. Such a third ball bearing avoid resonance effects and prevent a contact between the rotor can and the stator.
HINT: Plettenberg makes no outrunners for boats, because outrunners have not enough dynamic torque for the torque peaks!

There has been a bunch of success wih this motor and kv, so as far as I know this is the kv for now.
Scott, designed the motor as a performance replacement for customers that what to replace modified zenoah motors. On 10s it will have more rpm and on 12s it will have much more rpm.
t=12317&highlight=motor[/URL]
depending on how much rpm it looses when loaded it should proove one he.. of a replacement. my zenoah`s run between 12k rpm original up to 18200 race modefyed on 63-70mm props and they move pritty goo
At 75% efficiency its about 18k. It should easily get that kind of efficiency. Otherwise its a 2 pound paper weight.
That is what I am looking for 18k RPM, but the amp draw remains to be seen. I need a eagle tree that can handle this setup any ideas? I really need to see what is being pulled, constant draw and spikes.

Well for testing sake, we can dictate the amp draw.
4500 watts divided by 37 volts is 121 amps. I understand its not exact, but its a start. Prop it for that and you should be ok. A regular eagle tree micro can handle that for testing purposes.
The guys that are testing it are using the hifei 200amp esc. I have the boat version on order.
I would also love to Build a Insane Gas Hydro with one of these motor, and run with the $1,000 mod gas motors on 10s, then go 12s to really make em grunt
.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8s
I ran the Motor in the pro Boat this weekend it ran great with a 455 prop in the 56MPH range and the motor was cold. I tried a biger prop a pitched up 460 it cavitated and needs a lot more testing . Videos soon it is up loading at this point.
For any one that needs a motor mount I do make them for any size rail.
