Hello , I want to use 2x t200 motors on a small boat …
is there information for what components I will need …
Controllers etc . Do you also supply these controllers ?
Or is there other suppliers you work with for those ?
Also recommended batteries/ set ups for running about
1hr … thank you
There are currently two versions of the T200 thruster: one which includes a basic (compatible) non waterproof ESC and a version without:

You’ll find lots of accessories for ROVs on that page too.
Aside from that, they are operated like normal RC servos. You can plug it directly into your RC receiver and you’re good to go. Just be sure that you’re supplying the right voltage, and if you have a BEC which is powering it.
The link above has all you need.
It’s never easy to determine how long a thruster will last given that current varies constantly. If you take an average current reading of 1/4 max (5-6A), then a 12V, 6Ah battery would last around 1 hour, not factoring in losses in efficiency everywhere. As such, you might consider a 7-8Ah 11.1V LiPo battery.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask.
