This video follows on from my earlier post. I changed to running on a 5 cell lipo (18.5 volts) and I am very pleased with the Improvement over 14.4 volts Nicads. (Edit sorry Nimh`s) I put this link into my reply on my previous post but it didnt work as a hotlink so I am posting this.
The boat isnt quite flat out here due to the difficulty videoing and steering.

HI Les
What a bummer. Bread is not good for wildlife and certainly not for props.
Hopefully your motor should be OK as long as the wires are not burnt. if you have a multimeter you could check the insulation between the shaft and each winding using the highest ohms reading. it should be high, if low chances are there is an internal short. A quick check (on a lower ohm reading) between windings should give similar results between every pair, again any variance may indicate an internal short.

I am just building one of these on a wood hull, I notice you are running a single motor. Could you advise what motor you are using plus what prop please? Thanks Andy
Nautix 1/32 North Sea Fishing Trawler Our Lass II Whitby RTR Boat
A nicely detailed radio controlled 1/32nd scale model of the Whitby based 21.5 metre North Sea trawler Our Lass II. This vessel is typical of a number of modern, well equiped trawlers built in recent years. now sold my boat
HI that is a really nice trawler you have . how many batteries in the trawler? it must have some weight to keep it down in the water . looks fantastic cliff
IVE ADD 2 7.2V BATTERIES ON BOTH SIDE FOR THE BOAT MY MAIN BATTERY IS A 6V Battery 6 Volt Sealed Lead Acid
THERE 2 BAGS OF TYER WEIGHTS UNDER THE 7.2V STICKS AT THE FRONT OF THE BOAT I ADD A SMALL HOUSE BRICK
AND LOT OF LEAD 😎
HI Bob I got the trawler from my Uncle in Nov 2012 The trawler was made in the 1970 by my Uncle the motor in trawler was taycol motor all so I had a12v blower motor in her with 4 12v 7 APH batters and 3 6v 4.5APH batters for the running gear .theres a lot more I can tell you about the work that I have done to the trawler but it will take all day to tell you all about it you know what I maen 😀
Built from a kitishack kit 56" it runs on two Hobby King 750kv brushless motors I used brake pipe to make the motor cooling coils two 200a water cooled esc,s, I got the 5mm shafts & 42mm brass props and couplings from SHG models the power is supplied via two 14.8v lipos this is a really powerful boat
I think with two beefy out runners, 42mm props on 14.8 lipos it should be a very powerful boat. However I like big boats properly engineered. Well done. 😀
it is ready to send to my pal in Scotland for him to finish
I have put a 10" shaft & a 42mm prop in with a Johnson 600 motor all the seats & rudder are made for him to fit along with the dodger that I am busy making for him, I will be starting another soon the planks & transom are cut ready to assemble on the jig
I bought the hull from a friend who moulds them then built it from pictures I had taken of the actual boat in Blyth harbour it runs on a Graupner 700bb motor 12v battery Robbe Fixed Kort Nozzle with Rudder & 60 mm Propeller lights on a separate 6v battery & figures from Adrian Clutterbuck

Northsider built from a Tyne Model kit
History M.T. Northsider & M.T. Ironsider:
Completed April 1967, at Richard bunston Hessle for the Lawson
Batey Tug Co. Ltd., at a cost of £106,500. Then chartered to the Tyne & Wear Tug Co. Ltd., working on the Tyne for harbour towage. Also visiting other UK and European ports during many coastal tows. After a long and eventful service on the Tyne, sold in 1996 to BaltagI Pilots in Bahrain and renamed 'BaltagI 6' there it remains in service today. M.T. Ironsider Completed September 1967, a sister ship to the Northsider, also chartered to the Tyne Wear Tug Co. Ltd., until 1992. Then sold to Proodos Maritime Co., Piraeus and renamed 'MegaloharI 12' still in service today.
Both tugs are similar to Alexandra Towings Tug, 'Sauria' which, was based at Felixstowe, UK. .
Building from plan going to run on a Johnson 600 powered by a 3 cell lipo with a 10" shaft & 42mm propeller it will be going to a pal in Scotland when it is finished
Here is another view of the Lusitania this is the starboard quarter shot. A Beautiful ship she is sunk May 7th 1915 13 miles off of the little head of kinsale in 300 feet of water.
Ahoy
Here is a display model I built it is the late great RMS LUSITANIA scale 1/350 built for show only it took me 7 months to build a one of a kind kit something you don't see everyday built from a kit mostly scratch built did not like some of the kit parts so I made my own.
