Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Minn Kota engine mounted electric motor



Mark,
What was the general conclusion about the prospect of attaching a "Minn-pod" to the rudder?  And did anyone try it?

Dennis,

Mark Stafford remembering the gleeful enthusiasm some folks here were talking about last year: mounting the Minn-pod (or other trolling motor body) on the rudder. Improved maneuvering, zero speed steering, thrust vectoring. Weeeeee!

Has anyone tried, or do any of you have thoughts on, attaching one to the hull, for a much much less expensive Re-e-power pod? Would you put it where the prop was on a sailboat or someplace else on the hull?
