Re: [electricboats] Electric Outboards and trolling motors on a 10' RIB

I used a similar trolling motor on a 17" Seaward Fox with a 12V deep cycle battery for Wednesday beer can races.  We would leave the dock and raise the sails and the reverse when finished.  Maybe 15 minutes of use.  Recharged with a flexible solar panel all week. When the wind speed was higher we used a second trolling motor and battery.  The lake didn't have any current.  The most difficult part was lifting the battery out of the cabin and placing it in the stern by the motor.  I don't have any data about speed, but reliability and maintenance were awesome.

Thanks for the data.  I'm looking to do something similar with a WM RB350, but have concerns with wind and current otrside of  a protected lake.
