Electric motor to power a dinghy revisited
Hi,
I want to put a motor on an 8' inflatable dinghy. A big question is whether I should use a conventional gasoline/oil based motor or go with electric. The situation is as follows: I plan to take the boat out to a complete wilderness (in a car/SUV) and use it there for, say, a week to explore lakes and streams. There will be no AC outlets out there. This creates a problem---how do I recharge the battery/batteries if I decide to go with electric motor? Is it possible to do it through the running car in some way? Is this a realistic approach anyway? Solar power(likely, unrealistic)/other alternatives? I would not have asked unless electric motor was not so nicely quiet and environmentally friendly and thus appeal to me. Using electric motor has its value, but it is not clear if it holds it in the above set up. Thanks |
