Motors
A few words about our motors. These motors have been selected to work well
in direct drive marine applications. Unlike most hobby store motors which
are 3 pole types designed to run at high RPM, most of these motors are low
RPM with high torque.
If you are looking for long running time and a solid, reliable motor for a
warship, tug or fishing boat, you can find it here.
Our Motor Refund Policy
All of the motors listed below are purchased from surplus equipment distributors.
For this reason we cannot offer the same 1 year warranty on motors as we
do on our electronic equipment. We test each motor before we ship it. If
you are not satisfied with your motor you can return it within 30 days
for full refund less shipping charges.
