E-Thrust 55LB Boat Engine 

For those who fish smaller, intimate waterways or even large lochs and need to take a more stealthy approach to your fishing; the E-Thrust 55lb Engine is ideal: it‘s silent, doesn‘t wobble or vibrate and is highly portable (it weighs just 9.7 kilos or 21lb)  

Once you‘re clamped on it‘s a simple matter of connecting to your 12-volt battery and twisting the accelerator. Off you go! If you‘re into technical details, check the spec below...

With the 5 forward and 2 reverse gears; I found this to be a great wee engine for keeping the boat in the catch zones up at the Lake of Menteith and Linlithgow Loch, there was no noise or disturbance as I would normally have with a petrol engine.   All I had to do was give the engine a slight shunt either forward or backwards to keep in the hotspots.

The only slight issue I had with the engine was the length of the aluminium column; you couldn‘t shorten it for stacking away in the car, I had to fold one of the back seats down to get it in along with the battery and all my usual fly fishing gear (which I must admit can be a bit toooooo much at times).  

You can obtain the engine from any good online tackle store I got mine from Fishtec
