T Thanks!
Hey Norseman: Question for you. You said much earlier that there are derelict Duffys in canals somewhere in the Ft Lauderdale area? Is there a...
Hi Worldsense, welcome and congratulations on your Duffy. I have a 1983 pop-top kinda like yours. I had a GE/Taylor Dunn 36V shunt motor (still...
Hey all, Was hoping someone might recognize this boat, or the logo on the boat and help me figure out who makes it or what it is. About 30' long...
Hi Flyinbob, I agree, you can't really run a Duffy from solar panels. But what I am talking about is the net energy budget for boating. Since I...
My much older Duffy, which was actually built by W.D. Schock corp has the HIN on the transom, port side facing aft. I spent a portion of my...

What did they change on your motor? How much did your efficiency change.
I am considering two options right now for re-powering Duffy to get it quieter and more efficient. Golden Motor's 48V 3kW or 5kW BLDC with a...
I have replaced the rope seal, the inboard propeller shaft bearing, new belts and careful re-assembly of my sheaves to minimize wobble. I've added...
