Tonight a friend told me he want to try to use on his 4.70 metres fishing boat an electric motor for trolling fishing (2-4 knots, good for bonitos, mackerels, dorados, amberjacks - tuna requires far more speed
[*]).
His idea is to keep the batteries charged with some solar panels, making with them a sort of bimini top over the boat.
I suggested him to adapt the starter motor of a diesel over the foot of a small outboard.
Other suggestions keeping the budget low are very welcome: the price of a 50 lbs Minnkota trolling motor here is over 400 euro ($544)…
[*] Here is why the modification of cars to make them faster is called "tuning".
