We have a trawler and an 8' Livingston which we use as a tender.

Generally we
go back and forth to shore but occasionally will explore a small cove we

may be
anchored in.

I've been using a 4HP Johnson (2 stroke) but it is failing, as am I. I

leave it
at home but rowing a Livingston is no slice of Heaven. So I want power

again,
but more reliable and hassle-free for the limited use.

Does anyone have experience using an electric trolling motor this way?

What
kind of motor and/or battery rig did/do you use and how heavy are the

parts?

I'll appreciate hearing from experienced users. Thanks
