Question
Kurt Barlow
Fancy doing some winter fishing in my 14 ft tender (Skipper 14) . I have a 2.5hp outboard however want a back up. This would be a get to shore outboard as I wouldnt fish more than 150 metres from the shoreline. Only in calm weather. Was thinking about a leccy outboard but they are a couple of hundred quid.
Here is the plan. I have a heavy duty 18V 65NM Dewalt and a couple of of 2.0ah batteries. Can order the 5.0a/h if necessary.
I have ordered
The design spec is to push an 80Kg tender with gear 100-150m in slack water. Wouldn't attempt when tide going out at speed. Would if it was coming in as thats the direction back to the club.
Tender is this without the mast
