[Rhodes22-list] Electric Motor

[Shawn Boles]

Hi:

I have used a torqeedo electric for the last 10 years on Fern Ridge Lake in
Oregon. I have a long shaft 3 horsepower equivalent and find it it's
sufficient for getting in and out of the slip. Not too good against serious
winds and waves but can push the boat at low speeds up to 15 km. Easy to
recharge and Bulletproof.

Cheers,

Shawn
