Our verdict

A transom-mounted electric trolling motor for small boats that runs off a battery. Water type entries conflict between fresh and salt, so confirm the intended use before buying.

Overview

A transom on a small fishing boat is where this electric motor mounts, driving a prop for slow, quiet movement. The kit adds a prop kit and an owner's manual, and the shaft length is set in the title.

A familiar, simple setup is the reason to look at it: a clamp-on electric motor with a thrust rating for small boats. The limitation is the missing battery and the conflicting freshwater and salt water entries.

Who it's for

Anglers on small lakes and ponds who troll or reposition quietly will use the transom mount on a compatible boat. Owners of large boats, or anyone fishing salt water, should confirm thrust, shaft length and corrosion protection first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Electric drive with a prop kit included
  • Transom mount for small boats
  • Aluminum material listed
  • Manufacturer warranty stated
Cons
  • Battery not included
  • Fresh and salt water entries conflict
  • Control and speed settings not described

Performance notes

Thrust is set by the motor and prop, and a deeper shaft holds the prop below the surface in chop. The battery supply sets runtime, since it drains faster at higher speeds. Boat weight and wind determine how much of the rated thrust is actually needed.
