Pros
  • 86 lb of thrust moves heavier boats and holds against strong wind
  • Running on 24 V keeps current draw lower than the 62 lb 12 V model
  • Saltwater rated with a 36 in shaft for taller transoms
  • Still under 30 lb to carry
Cons
  • Needs a 24 V battery or two 12 V batteries in series, which adds weight and cost
  • Fixed speeds rather than stepless control
  • Brushed motor
