Hey all!
I have a 14" Sailing dinghy that I'd like to add an electric outboard to. I've been into ebikes for a long while, but I really know next to nothing about electric watercraft.
Taking a look at trolling motors, they can range anywhere from $100 up to $3000, so I'm looking for advice on finding the right setup to start with.
I don't know exactly what i'm after but I'd like an outboard with around 30lbs+ thrust that can easily be pulled out of the water while under sail. I'd also like something that can easily be hacked or upgraded. I like the idea of a brushless design, but that isn't really a requirement.
Above all, I'm looking for something with a lot of bang/buck ... something with really good value particularly if it's the type of setup I can tweak over the years.
Any words of advice out there?
