The price includes delivery to mainland Great Britain as far north as Glasgow/Edinburgh.
Saltwater version of the popular 45lb thrust motor. This motor is totally impervious to the marine environment, completely maintenance free, powerful and reliable - the ideal fishing companion, or auxilliary motor. Complete with battery gauge as standard on all saltwater models.
Battery life & charge consumption
To power your Flover electric outboard you will need a DEEP CYCLE battery, also known as a LEISURE battery. These come in all shapes and sizes, so to help you decide what size battery to go for, you need to look at the tables below. As a rough rule of thumb, to calculate the size of battery you need, just take the max amps draw of your desired motor from the table, and times that by the number of hours you wish to use the motor. Then add 20% so you aren’t completely draining your battery every time.
So, for the flover 33, which draws 30Amps at max speed, I wish to run it for 2 hours, so:
30amps x 2hours = 60
60 + 20% = 72
I therefore require a 72 Amp Hour battery or larger.
Also worth noting is that charge consumption at slower speeds is much less, you will draw about a quarter of the charge from your battery at half speed. So back to our flover 33, at max speed it draws 30Amps, at half speed it will draw aprox 7 amps, thus your 72 amp hour battery will run you along at half speed for upto 10 hrs!!
Flover electric outboards are the most efficient in their class, but we won't just tell you that, we will prove it. Here are tables of exact readings from flover electric outboards under bench test conditions, they aren't fanciful readings that you can never expect to replicate, they are real readings, from real Flover outboards - straight out of the box!!
Battery Life and power consumption
| Motor Size | Max Input(amps) | Max Output (watts) | Max Thrust (lbs) | Max Thrust (kgs | Hours of Use @max speed, with 100AH Battery | Max amp draw |
| 33 | 30 | 360 | 33 | 13.6 | 3 | 30 |
| 35 | 32 | 384 | 35 | 16 | 2.95 | 32 |
| 40 | 37 | 480 | 40 | 18.2 | 2.63 | 37 |
| 45 | 40 | 502 | 45 | 20.4 | 2.56 | 40 |
| 50 | 43 | 504 | 50 | 22.7 | 2.38 | 43 |
| 55 | 45 | 508 | 55 | 24.9 | 2 | 45 |
Did you know that Flover electric outboards are the most efficient electric outboard motors in their class, as an example, in a recent field test, the Flover 55 out performed the Minn Kota 55 Endura appreciably. The Flover 55lb thrust motor drew 47 amps to produce 14.1kg thrust, and under the same operating conditions the Minn Kota Endura 55 drew 55 amps to produce only 13.4kg, so the Flover was 8 amps more efficient whilst producing more thrust!! ”
