I'd like to reverse engineer that and get the price down.

I don't think the military would even pay that much for it.

With it you are restricted to maximum 400watts. So the battery it charges manpack portable also? And what about the whatever you are going to operate?

I figured it could be used to charge comms among other things.

Yep that's pretty cool I build one out of a squirrel cage blower as a paddle wheel. I'm just looking for ideas to "steal" (reverse engineering just sounded betterGI6) to make the unit smaller, more rugged, and portable. I agree 3000 clams screw thatGI8

I'm not sure how they are wired up but trolling motors are already designed to go in the water. Eventually I will get one to try out. A friend has one set aside for me that the top was hit by a falling tree & the control is screwed up & the shaft bent. But the motor wasn't hit.
