Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Minn Kota

Hi,

A friend of mine clamped some 2x pressure treated lumber to his swim ladder on his Newport 28 that worked great for getting in and out of his slip/marina.

He had 2 12v batts in the lazarette for range....

It was a fresh water motor rated at 42 lbs thrust.... it was not a rocket but would move the boat at 2.5-3.0 knots.

Hi,
What is the type of boat did you make to mount the Minkota? and was this the engine mount model with 160 lb of thrust?
very interested in the results of your project.
thanks.
