minnkotas are not adequate. needs a separate battery yada yada.....
i do have a torqueedo. they have a
gps built into em and ttell ye how long you have left on the intrinsic battery that doesnt take up space needed for items and feeet in the dink.
good fo rthose who enjoy an uncluttered dink
interior... get real folks, a battery in a dink takes uo a lot of room not to mention the wires etc. not so with torqueedo. dink remains totally uncluttered
very compact and accurate in distance left before stall out..lol... goes loong way after it says battery needs recharge, as opposed to minnkota which i have watched leave folks in a lurch. take your oars with minnkota.
torqueedo t1003s is a good lil motor. look it up ,
price it--yes and yikes it is pricey, but consider the fact you do not need gasoline. you have a
gps in it to show you how far you can go with it before you need oars.. (minnkota aint got that)... and it is comparable in push to a 3 hp gasoline powered outboard, yet has no carbureter to foul up
yes i lik e mine. yes they have issues, but not the same kind gasoline obs have-- they do not get carb fail with etoh
fuel..lol.....
and.. they stow easily. the charge rate is 10 percent every hour. comes with
solar charger!! milagro!! how green is that!!!!
used 20 percent to go a mile and back. wow.. beats gasoline. how do i know this- guess what-- i HAVE one.. AND i am cruising.
doesnt need
parts
doesnt need gas
doesnt LEAK gas...or burn
oil.. no smoke, no stink
lower end unit doesnt fail easily
head is the battery so nothing under foot...
granted, the testosterone set wont approve, as ye cannot plane yer dink with it, but that is a good thing.
it is light weight, so even i can
lift the thing onto boat without assistance...
they are quiet--stealth mode .. can be a lot of fun
oh and did i say it comes with its own FLEXIBLE
solar panel......
