    Determining ballast for Imara tug

    I suggest you look in the Boat Harbour section on this site and search for Imara. There are several posts of different models giving details of motors, Esc's and batteries. The common theme is it is heavy 16Kg in one case so a large SLA will help. Car fan motors were popular at one time but difficult to find nowadays. You could probably use a large 800 size brushed with a reduction 2.5:1 to give lots of thrust. I have an Imara, not built by me but it is heavy. I am not sure what motors are fitted but has a 12v 12Ahr SLA.
