Hey all. Happy salmon season.
I recently adopted (?) or inherited (?) a neighbor’s old skiff. It’s got a 60s era Johnson outboard that doesn’t like to idle. I’m debating tinkering on it (maybe just an old gunked up fuel line or bulb?), but also curious about electric options in order to:
1) Move on from polluting the air with bad exhaust (stinky), and
2) Enjoy the quiet of a river/lake/bay, which is why I love fishing in the first place.
Anybody here run with an electric boat motor? I’d love any suggestions or ideas in the 3-5HP range. Can’t seem to find any that are even somewhat affordable (less than $1,000).
Thanks for the tips and hope you all have a safe and productive fall season.
