Foil Drive | Choosing the Correct Motor Cable Length

Cole from MACkiteboarding.com explains how to choose the correct motor cable length for the Foil Drive Gen 2 system. He mentions five available cord lengths: 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 23-inch, and 27-inch. The video emphasizes that the 10-inch length is generally the best choice for most riders, especially those into wave riding, pumping, prone foiling, wing foiling, and downwind foiling. This length offers a balance between minimizing drag and maintaining sufficient clearance between the board and water.

Cole explains that shorter cords, like the 6-inch and 8-inch, are more efficient and suited for expert riders who need maximum efficiency and minimal interference from the foil drive while riding waves. However, these shorter lengths require better mass control to keep the foil drive submerged.

On the other hand, the 23-inch and 27-inch cords are recommended for those new to foiling or primarily interested in efoiling. Riders should ensure their mast can accommodate the length of these cords, particularly the 27-inch, to avoid extending past the fuselage of the foil.
