We can't stress enough the importance of your safety when boating.  At the very least, carry life preservers, oars, phone, fuel, etc. There is nothing worse than feeling helpless. 

 

These trolling outboards are designed to exceed the performance of  most electric trolling motors within the same price range and weight.   Gas powered trolling outboards will outlast a battery, as well as eliminating the worries of running out of battery power.

 

These trolling outboards will deliver at minimum the necessary power to move you through the water very well. They are perfect for getting to places that are distant, where fishing is best.  

 

Yet, they must not be used to get to places where you may run into serious wave action, currents or very far from the shore line.  They are not intended to take the place of larger outboards, nor used as if they are of equal power and torque as a heavy weight water cooled 4.0hp outboards and bigger.

 

Eventhough, these trolling outboards might appear simillar in style and shape as weed eaters, that is where their simillarities ends.  They're absolutely not weed eaters.

 

Our outboard trolling motors have been given great consideration. They are marinized and modifications were made to its internal components so that they can be used  in salt water.

 

Modifications were made to the following items: Clutch, gear box, drive shaft, outer housing. They are marine modified to tolerate heat and torque and mated with a strong marinized gas engine.

 

They are built with the consumer in minde they're designed so simple and uncomplicated that anyone with minor mechanical ability is able to service his or her engine, without much hoopla and that's guaranteed.

 I have a 9" inflatable pontoon boat that I am wanting to use 1.2  motor on. The total loaded weight, passenger included is around 240 lbs. Will this motor be enough to push this at a reasonable rate. If not will the 2 hp be sufficient.

The 1.2hp is sufficient to move you along nicely.

 Of the three motors, which have you found the most reliable?

  Answer:

   I have some more questions. What is the distance from the top of engine to the highest point on the shaft that engine mount bracket can sit as shown in your picture on the web?

 How wide of a transom can the engine mount bracket fit on to?

approximately 3"

I sent e-mail to the listed e-mail address yesterday (Sunday, June 17 concerning the muffler system and the decibel range and about the noise level. I am getting more impressed as I receive information.

 Decibels at idle =70-78-89-97db's max out put  or quieter than  2hp Honda's air cooled outboard

 compared to a chain saw /blower/weed eater 110-118db's-

  Question:

  Hi, I'm interested in your 2.5 and 2.0 outboards. I would like to use one of these models for my 14ft sailboat (330lb)

  Answer:

  We recommend 2.5hp for your sail boat, since wind and current might be an issue, especially when you'll need it when encountering  dead wind  and  a distance of 2-3 miles back to shore.

  I HAVE A 10 FOOT JOHN BOAT. I AM LOOKING TO BUY A SMALL OUTBOARD MOTOR FOR IT. ALL I HAVE NOW IS A TROLLING MOTOR. BATTERY DOESN'T LAST LONG. WHAT DO YOU recommend.

 We recommend a 2.0hp because a jon boat sits deeper than an inflatable and creats more drag, therefore you need a minimum of 2.0hp. 

 Question: 

  Can i use it in salt water?

  Answer:

  Absolutely, you can use it in salt or fresh water, and when you're done, although not neccessary, just dunk the propeller in a bucket of fresh water or hose off the propeller to get rid of any sand, mud ,salt and silt to keep it ship shape when needing to use it next time.
