Electric motor to power a dinghy
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 |
