Re: [IC27A] Trolling Motor On C27?

[Mark Robertson]

Does anyone have experience with the electric motor conversion from Saildrive as a replacement for the inboard? I have a double rail on the stern that takes a lot of dexterity to crawl through to raise and lower the outboard on my previous inboard model C27. >>> John Presler <hi_speed...@yahoo.com> 6/18/2010 4:42 PM >>>   I have a big minn kota that I have used for that purpose AND it works great to push our dingy .... I wouldnt suggest it for any long passages though. Saildrive makes an electric motor that will replace the A4 From: Doug <dj2...@yahoo.com> To: ic...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, June 18, 2010 2:27:35 PM Subject: [IC27A] Trolling Motor On C27?   Hello All, Has anybody used a trolling motor on their C27 for backup propulsion? My atomic 4 wouldn't run yesterday for the return to the slip and I ended up getting towed through the gap (narrow and windless)leading to the cove where my slip is. Once I got through the gap then the wind picked up and I was able to sail into the slip. So I thought about a trolling motor that would be stored in a locker that could be quickly deployed for these types of events. Not sure of the size that would work, henceforth the question. Good sailing while I work on my motor:) -Doug
