Hi guys, love seeing your DIY skills, I gather from your info that the motor is a sepex type, with two coils, the motor doesn't sound like a permanent magnet type? From my reading the permananet magnetic types are more expensive, but more efficient as you only have to energise one coil. Am I wrong? On your boat with your 4 battery bank setup, you want the most efficient setup possible !
It seems like a Motenergy ME-0709 Brush-Type Permanent Magnet DC Motor 8hp_15hp peak for $500 and suitable controller would have been a more suitable choice instead of buying a new controller for the forklift motor?
