Decaperms are a very SOFT motor, with being made of plastic, which is why you should only run them geared. If you overload them for a short time the plastic softens, the pins start to cut through the endcap & then Kaput. £££££££££££down the drain. When I was at work I used to reclaim
them by making new endcaps But when I worked out the cost it was cheaper to buy another motor.
Haviing said all that, they used them in the 100 watt class, ungeared, but only running for a very short time. Stick with the advice of the others,

Hi guys

Can only agree to some contributions above: Deca was a "Mercedes"  --- 25 years ago.
And is an old overpriced grandfather...

For myself, long time I prefered van motors from the junkyard.
(Nowadays it's not easy to get a cheap one there...)

In meantime i'm using industrial Buehler motors. Some shootings at ebay, and some bought here:
  http://www.hobby-lobby-modellbau.com/onlineshop/product_info.php/info/p2893_B-hler-BB-Power-f-r-Gro-modelle--12-Volt.html/XTCsid/0b9b671ebfee2024dd501a9a6ed612bb

If you have enough mounting space and ballast of ~700gr : First choice!
No gear, no noise, 12pole-collector, 3300rpm. @12V  (IMHO: 35W netto, 50W max)
Starts softly at ~3V/250 mA.

I'm using them in 2 ships, each with 2x 24V-types. and 70mm/75mm Raboesch props.
Each about ~65" and ~32 kg.
No heating, no problems. Current (combined, both motors) : Full throttle ~3A, if ship is fixed: ~4A


I think, this motor could easily drive your 3"4 blade. And 3300rpm is much enough  for such a monster-blade ;-)

Pete

Would appreciate it if you motor gurus looked at my enquiry in the warships forum titled "RAF Range safety Launch" drive queries.
thanks

When you overload anything it will fail.  Why were you trying to run a motor in a way that it was not designd to be used :o

Used correctly the Marx Luder motors are still some of the best motors arround.  I have models 30 years old with them and they still run extremely well as they did when new.

hi mike k   i had a maggie m that had a working trawl winch   the motor i had in was a small 12 volt 'bosch'car heater fan driving a 50mm  4blade prop  this was plenty of power for her!!  the trouble is mike if you get snaged on the bottom with you trawl  &give it to much power  she will roll over   mine allmosed did!   i would fit a 540 geared 2;1 or 3;1  & keep the nozzel on   you dont need a speed boat to go trawling!!  i have another boat that trawls this has a 540 geared 3;1 on 6volt  'it works fine'  regards ray

Hi, Keep your Kort as you get more thrust at slow speed which is why inshore trawlers use them.
