Pontoon Boat Battery Under Seat Can I Use An Electric Pump As A Jet Drive On My Boat?

Can I use an electric pump as a jet drive on my boat? - pontoon boat battery under seat

I intend to build an electric pontoon boat. I would use it in a shallow bay of the harbor with many sandbanks, so that a plan like a good idea for me, instead of a propeller.

As for me, the best way to get my own record would build electrical response to a pump DC with something like 4 kW and the position of my pontoon boat with skill acquisition, high-performance batteries with lead - acid. I want to be electric, because you need the rotors of the wind Reload while moored. I try to take a boat from zero maintenance costs, or something.

But does it work? And it would be reasonable? Or are there better alternatives?

I must remind you that all questions in this forum are the jokes, and I must be positive and helpful ... Then he said ...

The bank of batteries needed to operate a pump, DC would be so enormous that it would be impossible. In addition, the number of solar panels needed to recharge the batteries of the size of the boat. In addition, charge controller for solar cells still needs to be expensive.

Let me say that there is no such thing as a zero-marine maintenance. Forget it now. Do not attempt to maintenance of your car ... and see where it leads you.

Propeller is not a problem for you ... If you are in the sandy areas will be better with a medium that you would make aPump try to, in order to digest the sand. At the rate that you will be with an electric motor, you will not hurt a propeller. However, if you have more thrust than drag engine and a pair of group of 29 or 31 deep cycles, you can overlook Outboard Torqeedo Electric. They are manufactured in Starnberg, Germany, and the assessment by the use of "ports" that are closer than you are for us, the United States. Check westmarine.com.

I think it would work. I need a pilot for personal watercraft and jet pumps, a large quantity of water pump to make a difference if you have a big enough bomb. The best if the pump is axial, such as jet skis, use the driver usually somewhere around 5 cm in diameter with the nozzle about 3 inches in the press release.

The thing is, if you have a motor 4 kW, you need a large quantity of batteries to be stronger, you also have a larger charger.

It works, but you can only run a few minutes behind Batt.

A traction motor is feasible, but if you can get a lot of solar cells and Batt have.

And a reaction unit is ineffiecent. It usually takes twice as much electricity on the same drive to get as accessories.


Why not a traction motor with a lead-acid battery or 2 with the rotor of the wind? But nothing before, the rotor of the wind is not enough juice to the engine running all day.

It should work .. Like sand will save it from the bomb into the shallow water .. I've never done before, but I've worked in many mechanical components ... All the little dirt was the cause of many mechanical errors .. You can bring the water over the bow of the boat through a filter system .. I think a lot of work to do ... I wish you good luck .. They come with a great idea.

I love all of it! All I want is the ability to add solar panels! They are inexpensive and waterproof!
