For those using the SSS motors...... The mounting holes for this motor are in the front or said another way, on the same side as the output shaft. How are you guys mounting the motor to the mast? The propeller will make loads of torque, trying to spin the whole assembly itself. Am I wrong to...

As has been mentioned, there are a few physical limitations of that motor which will present a few roadblocks. I've thought about using trolling motors a lot and have discovered that they only produce thrust at very very low water speeds. As you get foiling, the speed will increase...

Yea, I'm starting to come around to the idea of a gearbox. Ideally I'd like to eliminate it but....... physics. The gearbox is such a catch 22. We'll get great power from 20k RPM motors but finding a gearbox that can handle that kind of input speed is difficult and costly at best. Do we know...

Does anyone know if the liftfoil or jetfoil systems use a gearbox?

I love this kind of analysis. Great job Jezza, I think this is some of the most useful information we have to tackle this problem. One thing I want to ask. Is it not standard to only discharge li-ion to 20% capacity which, in a 14s setup, would allow only 38,000mAh of useful capacity? I feel...
