Hydro Dynamics Fly wheel

[specboatops]

I like my 40 Amp charging system, I found an older article talking about a Fly Wheel From hydro Dynamics and was wodering IF anyone had ever tried one, knows of one for sale or any other info on this. The # listed I tried calling but was no longer in service. They claim it is 9 pounds lighter that a stock yet retaining the 40 Amp charging System.

Thanks Guys,

Chris

[specboatops]

I know a guy in Shrevespote that had a 40 amp wheel that wuz lightned, now who dun it, I dunno, but if Chuck did that, Tom woulda got Chuck to do it...Now, az for 9#s differnce, I would have to thank agin.......I have one that 6Killer lightnend, and it iz approx 4# lighter(cast wheel)....

Other than tha bling factor, U will be juss az good ta find tha flex 40 amp'r like Jay said.....If U gunna be turn'in over 7500, U reely need to go to a smaller, 16 amp set up anyway...JMO

The Jamie Adam's flywheel was made of Alum. Pretty piece a customer of mine with a Pro Max had one , the magnets were epoxied to the rim...

Never knew of Chuck Goodman ( Hydro Dynamics in Benton La ) lightening one made of Cast Iron . I think that the reason you drew a blank from everyone Chris...

BTW: You have PM

I'm not worried about the BLING if it looks nicer " Cool":thumbsup: Just looking to take some weight off. Even 3 or 4 pounds would be great....just need to find someone who has one and find out HOW much $$$ its gunna cost ;)

Thanks for the input guys

you will be looking for a 40amp flywheel that came on all water cooled regulator v6 Mercs in the early 90's i have a couple of them but one has a busted magnet the other i keeping

[Da Bull]

The one T-Rex is talking about did not come from Chuck Goodman but was made by someone else. It is aluminim and now belongs to another friend of mine, It has a busted magnet and as far as i know he has no future use for it. I will get him to look at this thread.

[specboatops]

I can get 40 amp flywheel that are 5 lbs total weight. $1050 bucks outright.

[T-REX]

$1050 bucks outright.


DAUMMMMMMMMM..........I kin see tha economy iz well in Canada!!!....Remember Obomma iz work'in on a CHANGE south ov tha border!!!:eek:.....U Kanookz mussa got one hell ov a stimuluz check!!!.....:D

[RBT]

I think it is a deal.
To have Diamond or Power do an 16 amp lightweight is 650 bucks, plus the cost of the flywheel at say 300 bucks so you have 950 into a light flywheel
It takes 1.2 hp to turn a 16 amp, and 3 to turn the 40 amp to 8600 rpm. You gain bottom end with the 40 and have no battery problems.

I thank it'z a deel too...........fer sumbody!!...........$1050 for 3 HP, MMMMM....I don't thank I would miss 3 HP on a river mota....Even on a 50 horse mota...:D

I was kinda thinking the same thing......$1050.00 is a whole lotta fuel...even the good stuff:thumbsup: I'm still interested but not at that price.
I appreciate you letting me know RBT:thumbsup: I'm a poor man though:(
