I am using 1/8 ID connectors on small boats, on the fire boat, i use 3/8" ID hose connectors.
I seem to recall ordering them from a distributor in Bellevue, Washington, Airtronics.

For water connections I used Colder Products quick connects. (with barb fittings)
The nicest ones were spring loaded, I could disconnect with one hand, just press the thumb button.
There are probably other industrial quick connects out there...

[quote]Can it be used for boats too?[/quote]
Yes, 2.4 ghz can be used for rc boats.
The transmitters search for clear frequencies in the spectrum each time you turn it on.
So there will be no issues with interferance.
Be sure to keep the receiver antenna above the water line, and you should be fine.

I drilled out the corners, and gnawed the straight edges out using a utility knife.
Soldering I am usually at about 600°
I clean the parts, place some flux, and put a bit of
solder on the iron tip, then touch it to the joint and let solder flow into place.
I use silver solder for major components, and electrical solder for small quick joints.
The decals are Micromark Paper. Arial font.
I took a large brand stripe off the USCG website, and copied it, and
placed and reversed the logo for each side of the boat.

We had a fleet at the time.
This was a scale model combat fleet, so the patches that you see in
one photo were laquered in place after attempting a landing on one of the islands.
We were hoping to push all the target tanks off the edge and claim tonnage points.😁
But the range of the rc tanks was too limited.

For the most part I use variable temperature soldering station.
Where you see flat plates attached to the mast, there
I used an old resistance soldering unit that was picked up in a surplus store for $60

I created all the extra parts, and made molds and cast the number I needed.
Most people making this conversion, so far, have used my parts, and decals.
The railing and the mast I don't provide, and are all custom brass.
The mast base is made to fit the Harbor Models working radar.

I used "glazing & spot putty" by bondo for filler, no hardener required.

How do you power your life boats? Direct or gear drive, 6/12 volts
propeller size? More info would be great. 😊

Where do you sail your boat?... Where you can get the best pictures.
1/36 scale LA Fireboat #2 challenges the Portland Fire Bureau's 1927 fire boat, David Campbell, at the Portland Maritime Heritage Festival 2008.
We Lost...New pumps for next year though. - - - 1/36 scale model uses twin graupner voith schneider drives, and twin ESC. Main power is 12volts for the drives, and auxillary pump, and one 6v for the main monitor pump.

How long does it run before it stops?
It may be heating up, and popping the breaker in the ESC.
If this is the case, maybe a smaller propeller, or gearing the drive down to 1.5:1 or more might help.

if you have a good set of plans or pictures, you should be able to solder one up on your own. Or make one up out of wood sticks or hardwood dowels.
