1.0 out of 5 starsGreat idea… falls short
Reviewed in Canada on July 6, 2022
Well, I’ve tried this item twice. Sent the first one back because it made a loud, high-pitch whining sound when it was running at any speed under full throttle. When trolling, you’re not at full throttle, so this sound is super annoying. I returned the first one thinking I must’ve got a lemon. Ordered another. It really is an awesome idea for a motor. Unfortunately, the second one makes the exact same sound. Also, the second one looked used and had a few other issues (besides the annoying sound it makes). First, the head of the unit was really loose. It pretty much wobbled on the main shaft. Second, the rubber gasket around the battery cover was broken out of the box. Third, it just looks used! Scratches everywhere. Long story short, not sure what I’ll do next. The sound is annoying, but the motor does work. Maybe just turn up the tunes on the boat? Anyway, good luck if you’re purchasing this. Maybe your’s won’t scream at you.
