New Seacraft Go! DPV

[Mario007]

Thanks for the info. What sort of runtime are you getting from use on speed 6? Curious about the noise level also - I can't seem to find my YT video examples

here a small clip of my test ride, but you can tell the noise level

I was under the impression the Black tip could run at the same max speed as the Go, but only for short bursts due to thermal throttling?

BT max continuous thrust is about 45 lb. The short-lived boost mode (~7 mins?) is 57 lb. Max continuous for the Go is 58 lb.

Here is a link to a short video of the dive. The last clip, when we are heading west, the Go had reverted to 50% power and the two genesis had throttled down to allow me to keep up.

Don't know about the noise, it sounds different whether the camera is mounted on the front handle or back near motor.

But regardless of noise, thing is a dolphin magnet...

A rough estimate, we do weekends 3-4 dives of about 4-4.5 hours / 6-7.5 km and left with ~3 battery indicator leds (out of 9).

Sometimes, we squeeze another dive at slow speed and get battery to the last indicator, so about in total 5.5 hours and 9 km. Never tried to extend more, I'd hate to finish the dive towing the thing behind me.

Wow, even when on 50% power, that still looks like a really decent speed, though I can't really tell if you guys are going with a current, or slack water etc.

So on that day, it was dead calm out in the ocean with no current whatsoever. What you are seeing is the actual speed of the DPV at 50%.

On the Go, the camera mount is on the operating handles, smack in the middle, so it is above and and near the leading edge of the
shroud.
