Direct drive “wide beam canal
boat” kit
For those
who prefer a gear less system, we have a great high torque low speed solution
that is ideal for larger wide beam canal boats, and other installs that need a
little more power than can be offered from the standard kit with the 205W_08016
motor. Another silent running kit, using the Engiro 205W motor range, this is a
sophisticated, powerful and reliable water-cooled option that integrates well
with the Gen4 controller range.
The middle
system is our “canal boat” kits. This kit is ideal for cruising up and down the
canals in silence. Equally suitable for other craft, this is a water-cooled
system that provides high efficiency and silence in a 48V solution.
We have a range
of batteries which are ideal for this application, and we can supply more
details on request.
Power:
The motor is a low speed, high torque machine. The torque and power on
the output shaft is shown below:
Continuous running: 1000RPM, 220Nm, 23kW / 30HP to the propeller.
Peak power is a massive: 1500RPM, 160Nm, 46kW / 61.7HP to the propeller
To run at or beyond the continuous figures, a decent cooling system is
needed. Efficient keel cooling of the controller and motor is required, and a water
glycol cooling system should be used with this motor.
Motors:
The motor we use is the Engrio 205W_12202. This is a high efficiency low
speed motor, configured to run in speed mode so that the throttle responds in
the same way as a standard diesel engine.
This kit uses the Engiro range of motors. https://www.voltsport.co.uk/voltsport-motors/engiro-motors-all

Throttles
We have several options for throttles, with the easiest being a simple conversion of the Teleflex side mount throttle,
or the popular Curtis ET range. Have a look at the accessories or give us a
call to discuss!
Mounting:
The motor will need to
be mounted using a suitable thrust bearing.
