[Rhodes22-list] propane outboard motor

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ahhhhh, electrics.

I have an old minkota long shaft, salt water, 36 v electric.

I use three LiPo 12v 40 a-hr batteries to power it. We are now on a lake, but previously used it on LI sound. Have never run out of power day sailing.

Great for quiet power around the dock/ marina/ mooring field. Not so good with heavy crew in a 5 knot or above current .

Did I mention quiet, easy starting , light weight, and no fumes?
