Never heard of Taycol before n was interested in its history. Quick google I found the company web site. Very interesting and from the 1800โs. Also found places specializing in selling them. I didnโt find ships or submarines for sale. They do need oil on commutator badly to last longer n cause less interference with radios. Newer motors are around but if you want old time authentic stuff itโs out there. I went from DC motors to AC long ago fir weight n power fir aircraft models. Guys check out the company web site I took a snap of the google results

Good morning Mike, I like your thinking, but I would try an enclosed motor as the Taycol needs oil on the Brushes every time you use it, which has the side effect of throwing oil into the hull. I say this as I run a Taycol Supermarine in a Sea Commander that my dad built. Something like an MFA MARLIN would give you all the power you need and last, running on a 12v 7ah sla battery would give you long run times. Cheers Colin.

Mike, give us more details on the boat it's for, with pictures if possible. Then I am sure help will be forthcoming. I have many vintage motors which could serve the purpose better and more efficient than the taycol you requested. Cheers Colin.

I have a lot of DC motors 300-600 sized. They were fir mostly aircraft but a motor is a motor. The larger esc fir cars can do DC motors n accommodate liPo n micas batteries too. I used that combo with a 600 sized motor on my Aluka sub. It isnโt the length of boat as much as weight to determine motor. Just pay postage I can send a couple in a box
