Well, after much research, I've decided this is the best setup for my needs! Thanks for the great informative video! Wanted to see if you've got any updates for the setup like reliability, run time at full throttle and at regular running speeds, maybe an updated top speed with the motors facing the correct way? Thanks again!
no real change to performance flipping the motors around but I did run into a problem using them on the ocean- twice I had very strong seaweed wind up tight and lock the thrusters which added drag (normally the little props rotate freely when not powered up, once jammed they are a drag...lol).
hi mate if you to increase your speed you could make them like a jet boat engine by using pvc pipe,,,,,,reducing sockets,,,,,to make the water flow outlet holes smaller it might help increase the velocitie just an idea 💡😊😊
I added a reducer nozzle and stator blades to a cheap Chinese ROV thruster and doubled the static thrust from 5 lbs to 10 lbs with no increase in power consumption. The only downside is that reverse thrust is practically useless now.
Amazing setup. I have been looking into adding a motor to my outback and am really interested in going this route. I fish mostly offshore and am hoping to basically have an “unlimited” range with reasonable speed if I need to get in quick in case a storm pops up. What are your thoughts on a similar setup with 4 motors and something like a 12V 100ah in terms of speed and duration of use? Would you happen to know an estimated HP for these motors?
Thanks for sharing, i noticed you might have mounted the thrusters in the the wrong direction. Typically the thruster's larger ring is pointing forward.
@@bilalh8995 The reason why the thrust of the thruster is designed in this way. Because this thruster was originally intended to be used on ROV. So we will feel that the design is reversed.But it's not a big problem.Did not stump the UP master.😁
nope, I would love to see if someone has tried that with these T200 thrusters. what I really wish was to find a low cost, without building it myself, 18v LiFePO4 battery, that adds like 30% thrust to these T200s. Or maybe I need to looks for a 24v controller that would run these.
I think you might be correct, I'm confirming the correct orientation now with Blue Robotics, very easy to flip them around and that would increase thrust for sure. Thanks!
confirmed, full marks for spotting it. Sounds like 18% more thrust once I flip them around, that's going be plenty for me, not going to build a custom 16V battery.
I never got to check this before some ocean seaweed took out one of my thrusters, family stuff (son bought a house, grandchild due in May., fall coho fishing) has kept me from getting them back on-line, however the three 12amp-hr LiFePO4 batteries I was using in parallel looked like they would power both thrusters for like 6 hours.
Hello, I know this is a very late message after you uploading the video roughly 2 years ago but do you still use these thrusters and is it worth having/using it. I’m debating whether I should buy them. I would use it for ocean fishing and crabbing. I get so tired using the pedaling system on my kayak when I go deep in the ocean, when I return I’m exhausted. It takes about an hour to return. Thanks.
I had an issue off the Oregon coast with strong pieces of seaweed wrapping around and jamming them, then they cause drag. On the ocean, no way to get back to the rudder and clear them, so I decided they were best for inland lakes and estuary trips. To use them on the ocean again, I would look to deploy them in a location that I could get to in case they jam.
Hi. I hope you can help me build similar to your design but im planning not to attached it to the rudder. What are the materials or parts i need for the electricals.. thanks.
you can get all the parts and info needed at 'robotshop.com'. Also check out 'TexasPowerPaddle.com', they are using these thrusters in several kayak products.
Go with lithium /Lipo :#10 times lighter,have any amount of current boost you want for acceleration,I use 100c,wire them in parallel so you get heaps of run time I have a 500g yes 500g cost me $240 with 450CC but current burst of 900cca for 15 secs running my daily v8 and never drains like nimh even has a built in digital voltmeter on it I have a modified troller 36v pushing 150lbs thrust .I’m hoping to line around 10 of these up and see if it a can outswim the seagulls that float around laughing at me…….I’ll show them mark my words MY DAY WILL COME!!!
LOL. LOL,,,,,,, YOU HAVE MOUNTED THEM THE WRONG WAY THEY BACK TO FRONT THE PROP IS AT THE BACK,,,,, AND THE POINTED END POINTS FORWARD 👉 TO THE BOW OF KAYAK

How long do the batteries lady at 1/2 throttle then at full throttle just wondering Also did you wire both motors together then Run 1 wire off each leg of the two wires together? Or each motor i to the ESC? What ESC did you use? Has it burnt up yet or still going? Just questions we would love to know. Thanks

I'm surprised this doesn't have more views this is awesome
the thrusters are mounted backwards lol but kool idea
You are my new favorite person
I made one just the same, thanks for the idea, mine is an inflatable and the whole thing comes right off nicely
This is brilliant ! i'll try it out

Mi puoi spiegare cosa hai messo ?
Wowow...con un solo propulsore sul mio kayak potrebbe andare bene? Che velocitá potrei avere ?
Exelente
Y te pregunto como sabes que la pocision del motor es como losmtienes

good eyes, check earlier comments, flipped them around right away, didn't make much difference.
@@RogerEmigh good to know that the thruster's orientation doesn't make much of a difference. Thanks

Great job!!
Now that is cool
Nice work that’s pretty slick how they fold up out of the way. Curious why do you refer to the Outback as the 360?
that is because I can rotate the direction of thrust which is same as happens on the Hobie ProAngler 360 models.
Hi, did You try restricting the flow to make concentrated jet stream? Thanks!

I believe you would get better performance by turning the motors 180 degrees.

Do you have a list of parts and where to get them? I might need to try this with my new Vibe Shearwater
@@MacSpazDog head to robotshop.com and you will find the thrusters and thruster controller.
In quale parte devono stare ? Come faccio ha capire il verso da montarli ?
Great build! How much run time are you expecting using current batteries?
I never got to check this before some ocean seaweed took out one of my thrusters, family stuff (son bought a house, grandchild due in May., fall coho fishing) has kept me from getting them back on-line, however the three 12amp-hr LiFePO4 batteries I was using in parallel looked like they would power both thrusters for like 6 hours.
@@RogerEmigh awesome thanks! Spec’ing out a possible build and just needed a good guess before I go off and buy a super expensive battery!
Can i know what's is ESC power you using.and Motor how many Watt
Oh, oh. You're spoiled now!
Qual a especificação dessa turbina?

Is that 23.8 kilometers speed?
Parts list and suppliers would be great
that's pretty much all there at 0:30 seconds in the video.

running my daily v8 and never drains like nimh even has a built in digital voltmeter on it

LiFePO4 is what I use for all my batteries- kayak, driftboat, and electric powerboat.
Can you add sources for the parts? I'm building something similar.
check the video and other comments, I think they have all been identified.
@@RogerEmigh which model thrusters did you use, T200 or T500? Thanks
T200
@@RogerEmigh Okay great thanks. Did you end up finding a solution to prevent seaweed from stopping the motors?
the solution I ended up with is moving it to the side where I can pull it up and clear it. th-cam.com/video/ZFN9fYJF5vw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UAiiTaX87wq4s-N2
LOL. LOL,,,,,,, YOU HAVE MOUNTED THEM THE WRONG WAY THEY BACK TO FRONT THE PROP IS AT THE BACK,,,,, AND THE POINTED END POINTS FORWARD 👉 TO THE BOW OF KAYAK
LOL LOL if you check the previous comments, I reversed them just after making the video and also confirmed almost no difference in thrust.
