Dennis , I'm worried about the stronger winds , how would the electric drive go pushing in to 20-30 knot winds ?.
I would imagine it would need all of the push it could muster , but is the prop , for example , appropriate ?.
Regards Rob J.

Lets say 3 mph drawing 20 amps at 12v and one gp 24 battery weighing about as much as a medium size dog (56 lbs). You could easily run for 2 hours, that's 6 miles or 12 round trips to your boat.
The battery and 30 lb thrust trolling motor will be less than half the cost of the smallest outboard engine.
