After almost one year tinkering on my Efoil I finally have no break downs for the last 10h of ride… This is why I thought it’s time for sharing my -until now- working setup and thoughts.
My idea is to have a propulsion unit were all axial sealing get compressed to aluminum surfaces. Everything is assembled together by long screws in solid aluminum threads. At the beginning I had a lot of 3d printed parts which I gradually changed to aluminum because of water leaks.
pros: ramp control, max throttle adjustment, not burnt yet (unlike the other 2 Seaking HV130A), auto throttle stick calibration, a lot of settings adjustable, with extra capacitors, not expensive cons: is getting quite hot - until 70 degrees C

no problems so far, good quality, 100% waterproof
fuser holder mini-anl
only thing that worked for me (fuse: 200A)
jaw spider coupling
with 9NM, I tried 5 different other couplings before without success, added 2 scrub screws and loctide, spiders with less than 9NM failed
Hiorth prop V1
scaled to 160mm, have no comparison yet
7 1/4 X 5 Yamaha prop
not tested yet, maybe a cheap alternative, 10mm shaft
2.4Ghz Electric Skateboard Remote
in a condom a nice working and cheap solution
UBEC 12S - 12V
recommendable
SBEC DUAL 12s with 12V and 5V
not tested but would go for this one
Ammeter 200A with Hall Sensor
highly recommendable , easy installation, really good readability in sunlight
12V Red LED Digital Thermometer
highly recommendable, with adjustable beep alarm, measuring the ESC temp, bad readability in sunlight
DC 12V self priming pump
I have measured 1 l/min on my setup (water pumped through mast)
Mini 12V Priming Diaphragm Pump
I have measured 0,6 l/min on my setup
Ultra Power UP200 DUO AC DC
is not that bad, there are better available
Turnigy REAKTOR Pro 350W
no problems so far
military ammo box
recommendable for charging battery
AS150 connectors
highly recommendable, my XT90 connectors melted, no problems so far
Around 15-20min. I got a pair of 16ah and a pair of 20ah for giving friends the chance to foil as well. Haven’t had any issues yet. The 16ah ones survived two s
In my opinion It is a quite low-maintenance setup. No problems so far for the whole summer. I’m out on the lake or on the rivers almost twice a week. Still it is sooo addictive and it it so much fun let friends try foiling.
Just one problem with melted PLA parts because it got too hot in the car. I completely changed all PLA parts to PETG.
My maximum speed measured via GPS is 32km/h. But I never run full speed. The lift is just to crazy at this velocity. Nevertheless it feels really nice @25 km/h.
Hy superlefax echt top was du da gebastelt hast. Ich hab mich die Tage auch dazu entschlossen mir ein efoil zu bauen. So wie ich das gesehen habe wohnst du gar nicht so weit weg bin momentan leider nur mit dem Handy online darum kurz die frage… Gibt es von deinen Bauteilen auch Stl. Daten die du online gestellt? hast? Danke schonmal ich hab auf die schnelle gerade nichts gefunden…
:)) that sounds perfekt very cool. Have you printed the parts in ABS?
Iam located near Nürnberg I think that’s a very small distance and it is not so far away like some other guys from the forum (Australia, USA, China )
Maybe we can meet us some day. Sometimes Iam near Gera…
Are you still updating your efoil or can you say it’s good to foil and it’s finished? Ready to ride for summer
Everything is printed in PETG except of the propeller (PLA). This setup is finished; no maintenance required anymore. I’m only experimenting with various propellers and ducts to get more efficiency.
That sounds great. Do you know the max speed of your setup? I’ve ordered already some parts so I can start with this new project I hope you find some time to upload your files.
Big thanks to you and your help
My last project was a 6dof motion seat. Should you ever come up with an idea to build something like this I can help you xD
