Post by: newbe7 on May 28, 2015, 11:01:25 pm

I will be building model slipways the Yorkshireman it will have two props and I wonder the motors required the boat is not yet with me  so I'm not sure if the plans or description give details as to size and type of motor needed.
Is there special hookup for running two motors .

If you want direct drive motors then these are worth looking at http://www.componentshop.co.uk/775-dc-motor-5000rpm-with-mounting-bracket.html (http://www.componentshop.co.uk/775-dc-motor-5000rpm-with-mounting-bracket.html)
There are several wiring diagrams here which would suit the Yorkshireman; the equipment for every one of Model Slipway's twin-engined tugs being pretty much the same http://www.action-electronics.co.uk/ms.php (http://www.action-electronics.co.uk/ms.php)
The basis of most installations is the P94 dual ESC/mixer.
