Glasgow Paddle Tug Boat drive assy.
« on: April 13, 2011, 09:36:59 am »
To all you Glasgow owners out there,
I have a Glasgow paddle tug boat I wish to convert to independent drive on the paddle wheels to give better maneuverability
could anyone please tell me what size/type speed of motor and belt drive/pulleys and belts are best to use.


many thanks

I'm sure you could get some helpful advice on the paddleducks forum.

I purchased 2 motor gearbox assys. from Clyde Model Boats, They are 300rpm at 12v and I have made a motor mount to carry them
both, and used meccano  sprockets and chain to drive the paddles.
   Kim at Clyde Model Boats is a really nice guy and knows all about gear ratio,s for paddle boats and was a great help to me with my
Glasgow improvement.
