I have a question for DIY DPV builders :
It is possible to modify a some electromotor for lake fishing boat ( like RHINO ,MINN KOTA..etc ) I have in my mind to cut off rudder pillar and to put all controls an battery pack into the tank in front of the scooter . Depends on electromotor can push between 500-1750 kg boat - think that this is way to much , but boat more glides on the water than push it through like diver do -to much water resistance. Look at:
RHINO PARTS
So I think:
- I have simple solution for battery tank
- I got original control with speed steps, which I can simply modify by using reed
switches for trust controll
-I got all ready water sealed electomotor ( for cheap electromotors with brushes ,
more expensive brushless) PRESSURE TO DIE UNKNOWN
-I got standard cheap parts ( clutch , propellers with2-3 blades)
So I can also purchased some SEA-DOO parts like thrust tube.
Now if I put all together
1. Battery tank fom POM or PVC with electronic ant battery pack it is sealed on the
front and the end with conic lid
2. I mount part with sealed electromotor and SEA-DOO thrust tube in some kind
of cradele from aluminium (only front of the electromotor - designed like drop-
hydrodynamic - so electromotor can cool itself ) only wire for power leads direct
to the battery tank
3. In to the battery tank leads control wire from handle with reed switches for
thrust control
I hope that you can imagine what I want to tell you! Can this work or it is mission busted
Best regards
