How many lb thrust trolling motor do I need?

How many lb thrust trolling motor do I need?

General rule of thumb: you need at least 2 lbs. of thrust for every 100 lbs. of fully-loaded boat weight (people and gear included). If things like wind or current are major factors where you fish, you’ll want a little extra thrust.

Should prop spin freely neutral?

Prop should NOT spin in neutral. If your prop is spinning while in neutral – it is becuase there is still some slight gearing pressure onto the shaft. Need further adjustment or replacement of worn parts.

What is the best prop for top speed?

Enertia 14 1/2″ x 18. The 18-inch-pitch Enertia propeller delivered the best top speed and the worst hole shot. It’s expected that more pitch will equate to higher speed, since pitch is the nominal distance the propeller moves through the water for each revolution.

What pitch of prop should I use?

A lower pitched propeller will create more power due to more engine RPMs, but the boat will move slower. A higher pitched prop allows the boat to move faster by travelling a farther distance with each rotation. When choosing a propeller, choose a pitch that will keep the engine RPM in its recommended operating range.

Can a drone fly with 3 propellers?

Quadcopter drones aren’t meant to fly with only 3 props as when they lose one, they’ll immediately lose their balance and come crashing down. Hex and Octocopters have a little more redundancy in that they’ll still fly when they lose a prop (or more), however flight will certainly not be smooth.

How much rpm motor is required for drone?

Key Features: This motor possesses maximum power of 15 watts and can complete about 28000 rotations/minute in air. Range of these motors begins at 10,350 RPM and it goes up to 41,400 RPM. Speed of motor is controlled via a 8 bit low power type microcontroller accompanied with 10 bit ADC.

What is the benefit of a 4 blade propeller?

In short, a 4-blade propeller can improve all those characteristics that make for practical, all-around boat performance. Four-blade props usually have a lower pitch to keep the rpms the same as a 3-blade.

How efficient is a propeller?

Lowry quotes a propeller efficiency of about 73.5% at cruise for a Cessna 172. This is derived from his “Bootstrap approach” for analyzing the performance of light general aviation aircraft using fixed pitch or constant speed propellers. The efficiency of the propeller is influenced by the angle of attack (α).
