Homemade electric outboard???

[Tomeadows2]

Thinking about swapping a small outboard power head for an electric motor. Anybody done this? Would like to get my 1448 to 10mph.

They're doing amasing things with electric cars. Should be able to use that technology.

pretty cool! but how expensive are those batteries?

 

[Zum]

He said $1500 in the video.
Wonder how many years they would last...probably should be asking hours.?
How many amps does that motor draw?

Maybe you could find the spec's from an auto manufacturer. Then buy the parts from a junk yard. Do they even HAVE junk yards anymore?

That's cool. I wonder if someone's going to take that into manufacture?
