Motor upgrade
Have a 1989 marathon(resistor type)with stock motor. Speed is not important. If I change out the motor to a different hp and rpm will this help my run time. Thanks

Re: Motor upgrade
Blackjack159, Welcome to BGW!
Motors run on amps, higher HP means higher amp draw, which equals shorter runtime. |

Re: Motor upgrade
First thing to do is evaluate the batteries you have... can you give voltage & Hydrometer readings?

Re: Motor upgrade
Getting rid of those resistors and changing to electronic controller will increase your run time, unless you run wide open all the time.
