Very good idea on the trolling
motor... we've done it in the past and going a little further this time by putting the
battery inside a plastic tool box and installing a
plug in the side of the box.. also adding a foldable
solar panel to the mix for
charging the battery..
Many times while at
anchor, reaching the nearest marina or
dock is less than 1/4 mile and easy to do with a trolling motor.. We've used a 30 lb thrust befor but are
buying a 55 lb thrust for future use..
