I'm running the stock water pickup in the rudder and will be running that strictly for ESC cooling so temperature won't be an issue with water cooling. I'm running a separate pickup for the motor so everything should run nice and cool. As long as the programming on the ICE will be fine in a boat and I can get it water cooled I'd like to go that route.

EDIT: I'll be using my Spektrum DX 2.0. Will the ICE controllers be compatible with a pistol-grip radio or will it need a Pistix adapter? Could I buy a 100A ICE Lite controller, remove the shrinkwrap and thermal epoxy a cooling plate or water block to it?
The water cooled versions are a little bit down the road (couple months -- we are waiting on the extrusions...) but will be available. Won't need a Pistix, as we are releasing boat and car software for the ICE line.
