Default Gasoline powered batteries?

I stopped by Northern Hydraulic today and picked up a catalog.

Lots-o gen sets from backpack to ship/shore power.

Pretty much priced accordingly too.

A couple of higher end units could make 20 amps of 12 vdc.
But that's only 240 watts - a SMALL trolling motor?
And several kilo-bucks required to do it?

I think this idea goes back to the drawing board.


Sats





40 amps 12VDC to drive a moderate trolling motor will run
over $3000 - off the shelf gen set.

It's going to be a pretty big package too.

FWIW...
