Re: [Electric Boats] Re:Trolling motor for small DIY bow thruster?

 



I think the main problem will be that trolling motors are not designed to be immersed for months.
It may go well, it may go bad, I would not trust them is such a situation.
On the other hand; your life is not depending on them (if the electric circuit is well fused).

I won't be sailing. The entire boat will eventually be shaded by a hard canopy with solar panels on top and all sail rigging is coming down. I considered the trolling motor rigged as you suggest but it will want more support, and be ugly and awkward. I thought about a motor well but that would mean giving up my vee berth. I think I want it in a tunnel, or not at all.
