JonB? Smelling had in the cabin? Where are you keeping the motor? In the cabin? The gas can? Range and cost are the weaknesses of electric. You get what you pay for. For effective charging a 50+watt panel would be required and then multiple days sun for recharging (yes, depends on how long you motor). :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com <<-- new site!

Yet another trip to the mooring where I am smelling gasoline. I love the 2 hp Honda, but i realize in many situations I really only need a small push here and there. My thought was to buy a trolling motor, extra battery and a solar panel. There us plenty of sun where I live. The Honda leaks just enough to perfume my cabin with gas fumes. I will be making the necessary repairs; fuel lines and cap, but can anyone offer their wisdom re electric options? Torqueedo is out of the question as to the price. Thanks Jon Barber Monty17 Ol'44
