In an earlier post someone mentioned modifing a Ray motor to go faster.  I was wondering what these modification are?

Thanks,

There are a number of mods for the Ray motors.

Just depends on how far and how fast you want to go.

Adding speed will decrease runtime no matter what (unless you are lightning your raft). In other words leaving your partner at the ramp...

Add an additional 6 or 12 volts to the battery pack. A sixty volt motor jumped up to 66 or 72 volts. Note: you can't do this with some of Ray's newer outboards, This would be the 48 volt models that use the Briggs and Sratton electric motor. They have had alot of problems with this particular motor and it certainly won't take the abuse of adding voltage. That's if you haven't had problems already?

Add Voltage

Add timing to the existing motor.

Discard the existing electric motor and replace it with a larger one.

Change the pitch of the prop.
