Hi I hope someone can help.
I have a standard AT bait boat that needs a full refurb. The boat is propelled by three pumps (not motors) 2 x forward and 1 x reverse. The boat does not have a rudder, it relies solely upon slowing down one of the two pumps whilst in motion to turn (Left or right). If I connect both of the forward pumps to one channel the boat will not steer (go in a straight line), If I connect the two forward pumps to their own individual channels it would be difficult to steer and have a mind of its own. (I think)??
After some reading it seems that I need a channel mix, i've been looking at the Mtroniks WTail Mixer. I still cannot get my head around motor speed and turning whilst in motion.
I have 3 x ESC devices, one for each motor. If I buy a mixer, will a 2 channel be enough to connect to the two forward pumps? If it is was will it allow the boat to do?
How will the mixer need to be connected to the receiver etc
Please let me apologise in advance but this is my first ever project and I could really do with some help.
Many thanks
Bob
