I just bought a battery powered boat. It has no markings or numbers on it anywhere. I've looked all over the hull, under seats, in the motor/battery compartment and can not find the make or model. As a matter of fact, no numbers on it anywhere!
It's powered by 4 - 6V batteries and a brushed motor with a 1/2" motor shaft, 11.5" long and ~5.5" in diameter. This transfers the power through a pair of dual pulleys and dual V-belts to a direct drive prop shaft of ~3/4" diameter X 3' long swinging a small ~7" prop. The person I bought the boat from said she thought that it was a golf cart motor. There is no speed control per se, all power being handled by several solenoids.
On the dash there is a 0-12 mph speedometer, keyed power switch, forward/reverse switch, and a high speed/low speed switch. The gal I bought this from said that it would do a maximum of 7 mph and that is fine with me as we have a 5 mph speed limit on the lake that we'll be using it on.
Can anyone help me out with any information about the boat and/or it's power system?
