Sunsport Saltwater 46 lbs electric

used this little motor on a large lake for fishing very useful with battery indicator perfect for my fishing use. you can adjust for most boat uses on length of shaft great for shallow use extendable handle with speed setting tilt position when coming in to bank. all round great valve for the money paid. i have used this over 1 year now and the motor has been a 100% ever use.

Fantastic value for money, this little engine happily powered my 8ft grp dinghy, two people and weekend baggage through a strong tide.

A lovely build and the power indicator is great.

Light enough to carry or move one handed

Highly recommended

I bought the Sunsport Saltwater 46 to power a 3m inflatable boat in coastal waters and estuaries.

The 46lbs thrust motor was cheaper than many less powerful saltwater units on the market, yet it is of the very highest build quality. Having a battery life indicator is a very useful feature. The motor is easy to use. It has 5 forward speeds, which increase exponentially, the first four being variations on 'very slow', and the 5th being quite reasonable.

It pushes my 3m inflatable with 150kg on board (Two smallish adults and a 20kg battery) at 3 - 4 mph (2.6 - 3.4 knots), which is a very pleasant cruising speed on a busy river.

On high speed, my 110ah leisure battery lasts 4 hours.

In all, I am very very impressed with my purchase. I cannot report on long-term reliability yet, but the first few trips with it have been extremely pleasurable. It certainly draws jealous glances from other boaters phutting noisily along choking on 2 stroke fumes as you cruise silently by.
