What is a 3HP outboard good for?
The 3HP outboards are widely used for recreational fishing. They usually drive a 3 to 5 meters RIB or aluminum-alloy fishing. The quiet nature of our electric Spirit 1.0 means it won’t disturb the fish.
How fast will a 2.5 hp engine go?
Tohatsu 2.5 Two-Stroke ($630; www.tohatsu.com) power: 2.5 hp weight: 26 pounds top speed: 5.4 mph noise at full throttle: 84 dB-A.
How fast is a 4hp boat motor?
A 14 foot boat designed as a planing hull might get up to 6 or 7 miles per hour. If it’s a four cycle motor it will be a heavy weight in the back end. Make sure the gas hose is long enough to place the tank way in the front.
How much thrust does a 4hp outboard have?
Thus 1 HP (735 W) would acchieve a thrust of 370 N/V[m/s], which would be 160 lbs/V[kn]. Thus for a propeller designed for 3 kn speed (typical electric system) the thrust is ~50 lbs/HP, but for a 6 hp outboard designed for 6 kn it would be less than 30 lbs/HP.
How many horsepower is a 35 lb thrust trolling motor?
So every 746 watts is roughly equivalent to 1 horsepower. Using this formula the popular Newport Vessels NV-Series 55lb Thrust Trolling Motor is rated as 624 watts at the highest forward speed and so 624/746 = 0.84 and would be roughly equivalent to a 0.84 horsepower motor.

How to calculate the horsepower of an engine?
If you run the engine at 5000 rotations per minute, (rpm), you see how much load that turns on the dynamometer to calculate horsepower. Every engine has a peak horsepower – an rpm value at which the power available from the engine is at its maximum. You will often see this expressed in a brochure or a review in a magazine as “320 HP @ 6500 rpm”.
How much horsepower does a motorcycle engine have?
The calculations used to figure this out are in the “mathematics” sidebar. The problem is that the modified engine is producing a lot more power, but at a higher rpm. In 0 to 60 tests, we run the engine up to the red line, but in the roll-on, we never get much beyond 3000 rpm.
How do you trade horsepower for top speed?
By changing prop pitch, you can trade acceleration for top speed. Our trolling motors have props designed for maximum acceleration. When you hit the power, the boat responds immediately. This also allows you to hold the boat in high wind conditions.

How fast will an electric trolling motor go?
However, at the maximum speed, your battery will get depleted quickly, so that it will be a quick outing. By their design and nature, 55 lb. thrust trolling motors usually are not suitable for large boats, swift currents or strong ocean tides.
