BASS 666 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 hi guys i bought a new boat today sonic wake 36 ... this is my second boat but i haven't owned a boat in years .... did my homework and decided to add another cooling line ... the rudder is now for the motor and the extra line is for the esc ... couple of questions .. did i do the job the correct way and how far down must the new tube i fitted be to the water ? iv read about too far down and you get drag so is there a perfect depth for the tube ? the kit i bought has the big bore tube about 6mm i think and 4mm silicone tubing is that ok for cooling the esc ? thanks guys .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASS 666 Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 had the boat out today and the pick up is fine .. the boat seems to bog down a fair bit before getting up onto the plane then its fine but it doesn't seem right to me .. takes a few seconds to get going and the batteries only last about 6 or 7 mins ... the batts are new 3s and the boat runs on two of them 6s but it thought they would last a bit more ... 5000 mah and 8000 mah ... any suggestions ??
