| I'm using that engine because i all ready have a spare one and those engines run really good and to make the engine watercooled i just need to change the head over to a watercooled head which will cost me about £15 the manifold will be watercooled aswell as the head,
i'm using a 540 motor as the electric start for the boat and the battery would be connected to the motor to start the engine then disconnected when the boat goes in the water and i will use a standard glow starter i you would start a model i/c car but i might not yet and a 380 for return to shore an that is if the engine should ever stall which it won't if i tune the engine right and the battery for this would stay in the boat,
There would be less weight doing it this way than if a put two electric 700 motors in it and the battery to power it plus the servo's and everthing else i would need, it will be two more months before i do anything to the boat i should have more info by then but thanks for your advice on this subject |
