I just moved to a lake that only allows electric motors and bought a 14' fiberglass. I have a small electric trolling motor on it now but want to build a more powerful system. I am considering using an etek clone and hooking that up to a used 2 hp evinrude outboard I just got for $20. Id like to get 4 of the walmart large marine max batteries wired for 24V and hook it all up to solar panels and a charge controller. I found a machine shop down the street so I can have something fabricated to attach the motor to the evinrude. Does anyone have experience with this type of set up? Is it the right move to go with a permanent magnet dc or should I look into other motors such as AC? When I get the motor can I just hook it up to the outboard or do I need to change anything such as gear reduction etc.? Will the 12V batteries be fine or should I look into 6V etc.? Any other insight would be appreciated
