Good morning and thanks for the information, it sounds like you are getting cavitation caused by to high a speed at prop.
Cheers Colin. 👍 Like

Colin,
yes it is a brushless combonation bought as a package from cornwall Propellor is a 40mm 3 bladed alloy, I regreased the shaft and put prop on wrong way( now corrected) and boat reversed well but would not go forward have tried altering pitch which improved reverse but was a test and will look for a better Prop Ballast is wheel balances also well cleaned and put into sealed plastic bags so can be moved as necessary, dont forget this is my first completed boat. When I was a child I started a wooden boat but did not complete it? did a 5 year apprentiship as a fitter and turner before joining Fire service so can concentrate on finer limits on fittings! 👍 Like

Excuse my ignorance, but is that a brushless setup.
And which type of prop are you using, mine currently has a 35mm 4 blade brass prop. Motor not fitted yet but will hopefully be using vintage decaperm and 6 volt sla. My preferred ballast is children's play sand fully dried and put into resealable freezer bags usually100 grams each. That allows me to shift the ballast to wherever its needed. Cheers Colin. 👍 Like

Colin,
used a motronic d2386 motor with a hydra32 g2 ESC. Found I had to put in at least 5 KG balast (courtesy of local tyre fitters), need to change propellor as one supplied drive well forward but useless in reverse. 👍 Like
