Rental Tug / Rental
Towboat
Thought about adding a rental concession to
your museum? Would you like to have long-running low-maintenance boats for
guests or students?
12.5 hours of continuous (full-power plus
continuous rudder movement) use on one battery. Days of "stand-by" time (Assuming
80 mA receiver+ESC draw
while sitting idle.)
It can be done! It has been done!
| Here is a ballast test of a standard Vac-U-Tug
Jr. with our new battery system installed. |
 |
| Note the rear water line is just where it
should be. |
 |
| The bow waterline is right in the middle
of the keel curve. |
 |
| Four ounces of ballast are still needed
in the stern. |
 |
| All ballast removed from the bow. |
 |
| Trim the motor tray and install the
optional battery tray with Velcro strips. |
 |
| Now install the battery. 9,500 mAh NiMH
6-cell custom pack. Put your speed control between the steering servo and
the receiver. |
 |
| Nice and clean on the inside. Perfect
ballast and waterline on the outside. This tug can go for MILES. |
 |
The weight of the tug, receiver, ESC, and Servo
equals 30
ounces. Install the 34 ounce battery. Total weight will be 64 - 65 ounces, the
original stock gross weight for the tug.
Batteries are in-stock. Ask me for more
information.
