Sticking it to Opec...a little at a time.

[sinker man]

Briggs and Stratton is becoming my hero. Not only have they brought us a better design of electric motor for light electric transportation systems but they have introduced an outboard version of the same motor. So far they only have a 150 lb thrust 3 hp model for freshwater use. It uses their 48 volt E-tech design and features a power saving prop/thrust shroud. with 4 group 31 deep cycle batteries it will cruise at 75 lbs. thrust for 2.3 hrs you should be able to troll continuosly for 8 hrs on a setting of 23-25 lbs.
They are available in remote or tiller models and 15" or 20" transom heights. Learn more about them and the Briggs 5 hp 4 cycle freshwater outboards at:
