Hi Rachu,
can you tell me a little more about the measurements of the tug you are building? I use two 12V direct drive motors (similar to the 550 series) in my "Gry Maritha" and they turn 40mm brass props. At full power the motors turn at around 3600rpm and give the "Gry" a good top speed (the model weighs around 30 lbs). I would probably use the "720BB high torque" motors for a powerful tug boat. These motors drive easily a 60mm propeller and if you add a kort nozzle you will have plenty of power.

Regards
Wilhelm

Good morning..i have sketched my tug, on expanded polystyrene, by last night. its span in to 4 feet, and 11 inches wide. but i hope i must reduce one feet to get a chubby appearance. here i do not have any powerful motor...so after searching few hours among the toy motors, i couldn't find any one. so i purchased two identical old VHS HQ VCR from a scrapyard. i took off the motor from it, a brushless , based on PWM technology. its based on 9 volts DC, and can deliver up to 3/4 Hp as my early notes teaches me. so to drive it i have to wire a PWM circuit this night based on CD 4020, along with IC NE555.  so i can simply control the motor from, stop, clockwise, anticlockwise, and brake, as we found in VCR.its a hard job to do..only then i can go on...then willing to add a simple high pitch prop from a brass sheet..i will post you all pictures to you as my work progress...so now a request...may i save some photographs from you..?  for only a reff:..?  please...

by to night i will wire a good PWM signal generator for my motor...you can simply see the actual wave pattern of PWM on the base of the motor itself...i hope it work...if not my head ache will be great until i fix it...the main dis advantage of this motor is it can only revs up to 400 RPM max...but it can simply provide enough torque without any flutter..and can brake and reverse instantly...with great hope...

The matter of building Scillonian III will become easier shortly . . .

She is likely to be my next 'big build' when I finish my 1/1 scale motorsailer!

See Marine Modelling August 2011.
