Torqeedo Ultralight secret upgrade Electric motor

Thought I would share this with BWE...

This is not a gas vs electric vs human paddle/peddle debate.



So make your own thread if you want to discuss that.



This is an electric Torqeedo thread....Just electrics... we all know we pay a premium for electrics...

I got my Torqeedo ultralight a while back, and I knew that they had a huge drawback.

Fishing line...

The fishing line would get stuck on the propeller and would cut the seals behind the propeller...(sometimes)....motor would flood with water costing you 700 dollar fix.

Knowing this I put a alot of marine glue around every seal nook and cranny... never has a problem.

I was recently investigating what new upgrades Torqeedo had and even emailed them because I was interested on the Travel with the new 915watt battery.....on my pa17t.

I posted pictures of the new upgrades..and I'm pretty sure Hobie played a good part on fixing this issue.

This was Torqeedo response:"The UL403\ eVolve and our commercial Cruise motors were the only ones that we did the line deterrent with. The Travel 503\1003 isn't used around a lot of fishing applications at this time.


You would have to send in the motor to us so we can open the lower unit to change out the caps to the new style and install the brass cap. "
