Are 540's worth bothering with? I have finished up with four virtually new Johnson 540's and wondered if it was worth fitting them as I dont know the power output compared to a 600,
regards, Terry

Well none of the can motors are that good.. but a decent 540 should net you 150-200W at about 50-60%..

The message from The Natural Philosopher contains these words:
Would it improve things with a 2:1 gearbox? with four almost new motors spare its a shame for them to go in the junk box so maybe at some later date I can gear them down and wrap a Lancaster round them or something.............;-)

Ohy for a lanc unelss you can get sort of 19x15 three bladers, run em ungeared.
Otherwise I sue em on mice 60" old timers with 3.5 gearboxes and 11" props.
