Best Answer

Assume you are talking about a boat and a water skier. Yes it will work. I have been towed by a 35 HP outboard. It depends on the skill of the skier to be able to get up quickly. It also depends on the skis and the drag they cause while being pulled from the water.

Will a 10 hp 220 volt motor draw large amounts of electricity?

A single phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 50 amps. A three phase 10 HP motor will draw aproximately 28 amps.


What size electric motor will replace a 16 hp gas motor?

Horsepower is horsepower, so a 16 hp electric motor could, on the surface, replace a 16 hp gas motor. Things to consider, however, include RPM and torque. Gas engines are inefficient, to replace a 16 hp gas engine it would take only a 8 hp electric. standard closest size would be a 10 hp. I have done this several times on air compressors and hydraulic pumps.


Which capacity of generator is required to run 25 hp electric motor this motor will be used to run a water pump to pump the water from tube well?

25 HP is 25 HP, no matter how you slice it and dice it.


How much current will a 5 hp 1 phase 120V motor pull?

The largest 120V motor generally available is 3hp. A 3hp, 120V motor draws about 30 amperes. All true 5hp motors I have seen are 230V or higher. Note that some motors, such as compressors and vacuum cleaners, use artificially high hp numbers to entice you to buy their unit (they will use terms like peak-developed hp, etc.). These ratings are not true hp, and you just have to go by the nameplate rating on the unit. For instance, I have a Sanborn Air Compressor that claims 4 PEAK horsepower, yet only draws 17 amperes at 120V. Its really closer to a 2hp motor.

What is the least horsepower to pull a water skier?

For persons under 200 pounds, 70 hp would be the smallest motor I would reccomend. For persons over 200 pounds, a minimum of 90 hp. Of course the more horsepower, the easier it is to get the skier up and the less it wears out your skier!

That depends on what you intend to use it for. It would probably work well for fishing or cruising on a small boat, but I think you would find yourself wanting more HP to pull a skier or tube.

What is the suggested HP to pull a water skiier out of the water?

This question depends on the type of boat you have. Normally as long as your boat can do around 25+ mph you should be able to pull a skier out of the water. So if you have a 18ft boat with a 115hp depending on the weight of the boat you will be able to tow a skier out of the water.
