In an Electric Fin data sheet, thrust, power, and weight are often the most visible numbers.
On real water, however, performance is defined by how these specifications work together as a system.
The IFUNGOO Y-Series Electric Fin is not designed to push individual parameters to extremes, but to ensure that existing specifications remain stable, controllable, and predictable under real operating conditions.
1. Thrust-to-Load Matching Defines Ease of Use
Based on current specifications, the Y-Series Electric Fin covers the typical load range of multi-person SUPs and lightweight inflatable boats.
More importantly, this thrust is intended for sustained cruising, not short bursts at maximum output.
In practice, this means:
- At loads approaching 300–400 kg, the system continues operating within its efficiency range
- The motor and controller are not required to run continuously at full capacity
- Thrust delivery remains smooth and consistent, rather than fluctuating
Example:
In recreational cruising or fishing scenarios, propulsion systems spend most of their time at low-to-mid speeds. The Y-Series is parameter-matched around this operating range, rather than peak speed alone.
2. Efficiency Enables Predictable Performance
From a specification perspective, permanent-magnet brushless motors provide a strong efficiency foundation.
In real use, this efficiency translates into predictable system behavior, not just lower power consumption.
During extended operation:
- Cruising power demand remains stable
- Thermal buildup is more controlled
- Low-speed thrust response is smoother and more linear
These characteristics result from the interaction between motor efficiency, control logic, and load matching defined in the system specifications.
3. IP68 Protection Must Apply System-Wide
According to specifications, the fin, battery, and wrist remote all meet IP68 waterproof standards.
The significance lies not in individual components, but in consistent protection across the entire system.
In real-world conditions, this supports:
- Continuous submerged operation of the propulsion unit
- Stable battery performance during splashes, waves, and brief immersion
- Reduced safety risk if the wrist remote is accidentally dropped into the water
Example:
During board re-entry or launch, short-term immersion of the remote is common. Automatic shutdown and system-level protection are more critical than continued output.
4. Modular Design Supports Long-Term Maintainability
The Y-Series adopts a modular structure, allowing wear-prone components such as the tail fin and shroud to be replaced independently.
This structural choice directly supports long-term use:
- No need for full-unit replacement of wear parts
- Clear, straightforward maintenance procedures
- Carbon- and glass-fiber-reinforced nylon balances strength and weight
The goal is simple: to keep the product controllable and serviceable throughout its lifecycle.
Closing
Specifications alone do not define performance.
What matters is how those specifications are applied in real conditions.
The IFUNGOO Y-Series Electric Fin is designed so that every parameter works within its intended range —
not to chase extremes, but to deliver consistent, reliable performance on the water.
