EO - Electric Outboard Motor

The all-new Minn Kota EO provides up to 9 hours of primary propulsion for smaller boats – meaning you’ve got more than enough power for a full day of catching your limit. It’s backed up with a rock-solid bracket, battery-boosting Digital Maximizer, and the strength and reliability of the Minn Kota name.

ICAST 2015: Minn Kota Announces EO - New Electric Outboard Motors

The new Minn Kota^® EO is an electric outboard motor designed for use in both freshwater and saltwater. It is available in two models: EO ½ HP which is powered by a single 12V deep-cycle marine battery, and the EO 1 HPwhich is powered by a two-battery 24V system.

In the past, recreational boaters relied on small gas outboards for pushing johnboats, canoes, kayaks, dinghies and tenders. These motors have the necessary power, but they’re expensive, noisy and not allowed on gas-restricted lakes.

For dependable, quiet and clean power, the innovative Minn Kota EO is engineered exclusively for outboard performance. The lower unit and all electronics have been built and tested to run hard at high speeds for extended periods of time without overheating. And Minn Kota engineers dialed in the design to make sure you get the most power and run time out of your motor. When starting the day with fully charged batteries, boaters will have up to nine hours of continuous run time at half speed. To ensure you make it back to the dock, the motor’s Push-to-Test Battery Meter gives you instant “state of charge.”

In addition to variable speed control, the Minn Kota EO features a 36-inch adjustable shaft, a Tilt/Extended Tiller and an adjustable clamp-on stow/deploy bracket. Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the EO ½ HP is $799.99 and the EO 1 HP is $899.99. Shipping will begin in October 2015.

WEEGO JUMP STARTS MARINE MARKET WITH ULTIMATE ACCESSORY – THE PORTABLE JUMP STARTER BATTERY+

Weego, an innovator in portable battery solutions, recently launched its Weego Jump Starter Battery+ to the marine market. A compact and portable jump starter, the Jump Starter Battery+ eliminates the worry and fear of a dead battery, for as little as $99.00. Weego offers peace of mind, prevents ruined days on the water and pays for itself with just one use.

“Dead batteries at best ruin your day and at worst put you in a tight spot,” said Gerry Toscani, CEO, Weego. “Our small, high-powered Weego Jump Starters are perfect for boaters. And since lithium-ion batteries only lose about 2% of their power per month, you can throw it in a safety kit or locker and forget about it for about 12 months. They recharge in as little as 1.5 hours too!”

A showdown at the crowded lock between Ish Monroe and Keith Poche on Day 2 of the Bass Pro Shop Southern Open on Lake Tohopekaliga resulted in both falling in the water and charges for Monroe.  Ish Monroe has been charge with battery and bail was posted at $1000. The alleged battery occurred early on Friday morning at the lock seperating Lake Toho and Kissimmee Lake. Ish Monroe was moored with another boat waiting for the lock to open when Poche rammed Ish's boat. A yelling match ensued and escalated when Ish reportable tried to board Keith's boat. An altercation occurred resulting in both falling into the water. Monroe continued to fish the entire day catching a 15-12 pound limit good enough for 18th place. Keith returned to the Big Toho Marina after the scuffle to report the incident and seek medical attention.

No word at this late hour if BASS will DQ Monroe due to possible unsportsmanlike conduct or breaking the law during tournament hours.
