THANK YOU PAR Moving from jet to the straight shaft option. Again SOR can be covered and I have not given up on electric yet. Straight shaft drive with the right propeller will work. Its deciding if the drag placed on it under full power is worth it or do I have enough room to tunnel a...

was thinking more like

the option of a folding propeller might solve the drag issue? but I do very much appreciate the quirk. Still chuckling a bit. Using the tunnel in the bracket I could still conceal the the prop from any lines and tangling. I think I have found a foldable prop in the 10 in diameter range

adding roll stabilizer arms like they use on a shrimp boat or fishing trawler would be a very cheap alternative. just need to add the masts on the sides that could swing out. Magma R10-702 | Fisheries Supply https://www.fisheriessupply.com/magma-36in-n-boat-stabilizer-plate-r10-702

had the 9.9 Suzuki on the back of the 25. Lake St. Clair and lake Erie. no issues most days. The motor would be about 3/4 throttle. 6 mph on GPS. troll for walleye between 1.1 and 1.8 troll for steelhead from 2.8 to 3.6 and muskie or salmon we push her up the speed index a bit. usually...

Thank you gents this is more of what i was looking for. Thought was to use a 36v drive motor similar to that in a golf cart for a marine application. whole setup with jet would be less than 70 lbs obviously without batteries. SO very similar to a 9.9 to 15 hp kicker. I have used a 9.9 4...

Gents, I have had trolling plates and trolling tabs. I have trolled with both main screws. One at a time and both at idle. Problem with trolling on the main screws if they are older 2 strokes they bog down. And at 30K each running hours up on the main screws seems counter productive. A brand...

BARRY Thanks for the honesty. looked at these systems and the problem is I would need the twin version times 2 to get the desired speed out at 8000 lbs in current. And the 48 volt battery requirements are super heavy and take up a ton of room. Love the idea just wondering if there is a low...

Okay guys and gals here is an idea and I am looking for honest answers and math not that it is a stupid idea. I am a mechanical engineer by day but true passion lies in fishing. I have a 25 foot pursuit center console that has a pair of 150s on the back so I really dont want to hang a kicker on...
