[Rhodes22-list] Electric Motor

[Matt Wilson]

Hello everyone,

I recently had my gas powered motor stolen off my boat in storage and am
looking for a replacement. I sail on a fairly large lake in MN.  I am
wondering if any of you have used a normal electric motor (trolling motor)
in sheltered water and if so, what pounds of thrust?  I am mainly using it
for maneuvering to and from my mooring and dock.  I suppose I would
occasionally need to get across the lake if the wind died.

Many thanks,
Matt Wilson
