Many past and present newport vessels customers have asked us to convert the pounds of thrust specification for newport vessels trolling motors into horsepower specification that is common for gas motors and cars.
Electric motor thrust vs hp.
T inlb torque in lb f.
This newly redesigned outboard has the best power to weight ratio of all high thrust 25 horsepower outboards.
First pounds of thrust is a static force measurement while horsepower is 550 ft pounds of work per second a measurement per.
It s clearly enough to substitute any thermic motor in a calm water environment.
1 ft lb f 1 356 nm.
Many people think that the more pounds of thrust they are getting the faster the boat will go.
Electrical motor power velocity and torque equations.
The difference between thrust and horsepower explained.
The electric trolling motor is housed in a watertight compartment that is submerged during operation.
Some electric motors especially from the torqeedo range reach a 8 hp horsepower.
N revolution per minute rpm alternatively.
This is not exactly true.
Even if the electric didn t reach the performances of thermic motors the gap tend to disappear thanks to plenty of innovations.
With the new design comes a no battery required electronic fuel injection as well as electric and manual start on all models.
By changing prop pitch you can trade acceleration for top speed.
With trolling motors and outboard motors boat speed and acceleration depends on horsepower and prop pitch.
Torque in imperial units can be calculated as.
T ftlb p hp 5252 n 1b.
T inlb p hp 63025 n 1.
T ftlb torque lb f ft.
Be minded that all the electric trolling motors measured by pounds of thrust lbs are much less powerful than the regular outboard usually with less than 2 horsepower.
High thrust 25 hp.
P hp horsepower delivered by the electric motor hp.
Electric trolling motors are designed using 12 24 or 36 volt dc motor that is specially designed for marine use.
