wife’s board is an excellent working setup now, the 8" prop is a good match for this motor. Still punchy and top speed is ok. She is really lucky I had a blast on the water.
Correct, I wish I would have had this much earlier. When I started last year there was only the 6" FR which is way Too slow. I remember asking David for higher pitch prop like 7", but back in the days he was afraid to burn the motors. Apparently you can use also 8" or even 8.5" on these motors. On full duty cycle the motor current is around 90amp which is absolutely fine.
I was bored, so here you have another video from the NL / GER meeting. First one can be found in the “videos of electric hydrofoils around the world” category.
Enjoy

I used small soldering iron. I was lucky because I got this faulty one replaced, so this was a left over. I thought I may can fix it…well apparently this is not the case
Well you tried and learned , best value for me even if something the end is happier ( the way I try to see things even if I believe 1/2 of it )
Always wanted to try soldering with a gun and paste
Yesterday I tried the opposite : solder 1mm copper busbar with a blow torch …
Sry I forgot. It’s double sided taped already. So I did not use additional adhesive. Plywood is around 1cm I think. Should be mentioned somewhere in my build
Well I have no tube in the mast. From mast plate I can measure if you want, I really can’t remember. The hole in front mast clamp is quite big, I think it could be smaller
Thx Jan, just ordered some joint from Amz.fr. I missed it in the list, sorry.I received the water alarm you proposed. What a crazy noise it will make me more confident as a tiny amount of water can be detected. Did you glue the joint directly to the Plywood?
