Hi sorry for missing key info should be 14 July 2024.

Thanks Tony 

Can you check how much current she's using? If she's only drawing 1amp while running, for example, then it would seem that the prop's too small. The current will be at it's max on "take-off". It certainly looks small on the Billing pics . Try a slightly larger prop and accelerate GENTLY

Thirty years ago, I was going to model shows with a boat (usually my Deans Motor Gun Boat) all over the south of England, including Beale Park, Greenwich Maritime Museum, Brighton  and many more - I then lived abroad for 16 years and lost touch with things over here. Moved back 12 years ago and once settled, looked for the shows but most had disappeared. This weekend was the first time I've been able to take a boat along and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of being amongst fellow modellers.
Thank you to Martin & the Wicksteed club for bringing the magic back.
I've already made arrangements to be there for the whole weekend next year.

The ballast isn't slowing her down, either the motor's RPM per volt is too low, or the motor is too weak and bogging down while trying to swing the prop.  This is assuming, of course, that you have a realistic idea of speed for a model trawler (just above walking speed should be fine for max throttle)

Thanks Nick, she is deffo moving slower than walking speed.
There must be over 2kg of ballast in her, whereas my krabbenkutter has maybe 100g and I only run her at half throttle for realistic speed on a 4.5v motor.

Hi,
My Notts Forest (sic) had her maiden voyage yesterday. She is really the Nordkap re-decorated.  Generally went OK, but I have a couple of concerns that I hope someone can advise on:


I have a Monoperm 6v 3A motor and the prop that came with the kit, but with the large amount of ballast needed she moves very slowly.


Also the Quikrun 1060 does not always read the reverse command.


It is all powered by 5 x 1,2v 2100mAh


Cheers

Welcome aboard.
I am pretty sure that there are other Mayhem members in Spain. If you try reaching out to them, you may find someone near you.
