Tnx Tim
According to some posts on the "google site" the clutches tend to burn-up
when converted to this use.
The mud motor (one brand name: go-devil) design puts the prop well back
behind the transom so the splashing water probably wouldn't be a problem
to the boat. ( Have you looked at "mud-motor" designs ?? )
I considered adapting a tolling motor but there is the weight of the
battery and limited "range" compared to gas power.
