Electric motor- not trolling motor
This is for the few folks out there that have the electric motors for the
pontoon boats and the like. I am thinking of adding a transom thrust elec. motor to a tour boat. I'm thinking of one of the models that are very similar to the fishing trolling motors, but just a bit more thrust and linked to the existing steering system. If you have one, ANY feedback would be great! TIA! Capt Matt www.fl-ecotours.com |

Harold Arneson of Jetboat fame and Arneson Drives used a pair Mounted on steerable arms on his Turbine powered Skater for docking, etc. Seemed to work well. Bill |

Electric motor- not trolling motor
Hello Matt, I am partners in a boat rental firm. We have use Ray electric motors on pontoon boats with great success. The units are trouble free and dependable. Also quite "renter proof". We have had them run aground, drop the motors off the back of a boat, (Why they were fiddleing with the mount is anyone's guess.) and run them dry in a tilted position. The Ray 500 will adequitely power any size pontoon boat. http://www.electricboating.com/index.html -- Capt.
