as soon as I speed it up the speed control overheats and stops, then its off again when it cools down, but it seems to like trundeling on all day at a slow speed.
it's only pulling 5amps in the water full speed and holding it. (Motor: etronix 13t) (ESC: probe 12t) (3/10)

Hi,
I've got a probe 12 esc with a 13 turn motor.7.2v p/pack
as supplied by a model shop.
Now for my problem, yes you've guesed, It keeps stopping.
it's a brushed motor etronics sport tuned 13t, direct drive with a 35mm 2 blade prop, now, holding the boat In the water I get 4.7amps full forward and 9.3amps on half speed.
a probe 12 has a 12t max, would 1turn make that much difference?
I'm not a speed freak I just like gentle boating with gentle problems.
even on a slow run It stops then I just let It sit and It's off again for another couple of mins,
this esc Is rated at full forward current of 46a,
reverse current of 30a, so It should be able to handle It In any direction, shouldn't It?
sorry the boats a 34inch crash tender, I had the original 3 blade prop on It at first as I thought It was that.
can any one guide me In the right direction? as my home Is a narrowboat on a marina and all this water and sunshine Is driving me nuts.
THANKS SHIPMATES.

hiya shipmates,
thanks for that, I didn't realize they turned around on full size.
on my fireboat it has now got 2 forward facing and 6 rear facing so now everyone happy.

Hiya
what way round should a ventilator be
facing? doesn't make sense to me to face them forward, you may as well Install water scoops.
any one know?
