For several years my wife and I have been using a 15" canoe to fish small rivers. We don't have anyone to shuttle us up stream so we use a trolling motor to go up the rivers then float back down.
It works great but I'm tired of using a 70 pound deep cycle battery that has to be replaced at least once a year so I would like to start using lipo, an rc airplane prop, and a pwm controller for better efficiency.
Here is the prop I plan on using: ***EDIT*** I cut and paste the wrong one. Here's the one I read works well:

Is the "pusher" prop the correct one?
I want to use a 5s 20ah pack since that's what I have sitting around here and I think that voltage would work well with my Endura 40 motor. It's 12v but I know people run them at 24v. 5s might be the sweet spot. Question is, does anyone know of a good PWM controller choice that will work with 5s? I considered a 24v brushed ebike controller but the lvc would be wrong. Anyone recommend a good PWM esc that will work at 5s voltages? Are there any RC escs that would work? Help me make a ghetto Torqeedo! :lol:
