smitch6 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 ok so i know i'm swearing lol but i have a little rib with an electric outboard on it i will say it's love;y in the fact of it is silent and when we went the other side of beccles bridge where there wasn't any other traffic it was so quiet and lovely the only trouble is they do 4mph max so it took us a long time to do anything and if the tide turns you could be going backwards if not careful lol i noticed the prop is really small with 2 blades can they be swapped for a bigger prop? would this make much difference? the outboard i have is towards the top in size i did enquire if i got a bigger outboard would it make much dif on the speed and was told about 1-2 mph lol brill invention but they need to make them quicker thanks steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antares_9 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Swinging a larger prop, whilst it may, and I stess may give you a bit more speed but at the expense of an already limited duration, and you cant just pour more electricity into a battery when it runs out. My personal view is that you should cotact the manufacturer for advice on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
