Over-volting Shakespeare Glider 55lb thrust

Guy at the marina inherited the motor but the controller was hacked out of it and wired direct to the battery with an on/off toggle switch. if you want reverse you reverse the clips on the battery



i ordered this controller for him from Amazon, 40amp continuous max 60amps

just wondering if you can put 24v to this motor

opened up the controller

63v caps



mosfets, cant find the data sheet on them, wonder if i can put 4110's in there



30amp ????

board



underside of board



that look like it can do 40 amps continuous???

i have a 40amp circuit breaker left over from when i pulled the ice out of the boat maybe ill put it inline to see if it trips and check controller temperature, if the breaker blows then ill try 24v

motor



inside



handle was chopped for the potentiometer



cut a piece of stainless to mount controller



rivet controller case to it





mount the pot and forward reverse switch



guess i forgot to take a picture once together
seems to work just fine
going to test it out sunday to see if it trips the 40amp breaker

It makes me wonder if he'll need a prop with flatter pitch, to make use of the extra RPM.

its a 3 bladed prop that is probably 30 years old, i dont know if it will take the higher rpm
if it was mine id overvolt it,
if the 40 amp breaker trips under continuous max throttle ill over volt it
controller is rated 40amp continuous 60amp max

ran it for 5 minutes full throttle with the dinghy tied to the dock and the 40 amp breaker didnt blow



think they found the old controller in the boathouse,
the white plug might be battery meter
going to test it to see if the tiller handle potentiometer was fried





35 volt caps

put 13v to it and with nothing else connected you can hear the relays clicking randomly off/on and the motor terminals will flash 12v and drop to zero. i wonder if its looking for the motor?



little red wires have 5v constant



he gave me this 12v pump for helping him out but it doesnt work
lets see if i can fix the pump and connect it to the controller

seized impeller, motor works, the controller has sensed the motor and the relay kicks on but when trying to connect the pot lines together, nothing happens

red to a black, nothing
white to a black, nothing
white to a blaack while red to a black ,nothing



start pulling potting?

i have a throttle somewhere here for red/white/black, think the other 2 black just reverse the motor?

had the motor spinning at 6volts using the throttle but it wont at 12v

the controller relays are clicking at throttle signal voltage of 2.65v and again at 3.35v



pulled potting off the bottom to test all 3 relays



found data sheet on the relays
https://www.mantech.co.za/datasheets/products/YH185-97M.pdf

none of the voltage readings on the relay are making sense, think a chip is fried, smd's look fine
