Since one of the problems with compensated motors is the tendency of the
brushes to float at higher RPM, this begs the question of why brushless motors
are not commonly used instead to eliminate that issue? Brushless also tend
to generate less heat as well as having other advantages. Is the
issue just the higher cost? Less availability? Complexity of
controllers?
I don't know If Minnkota produces brushless units or not, but I
can contact them. What about the manufacturers of bow
thrusters?
Weigh in with what you know.
Thanks,
