Will we get a review on the new Mercury 9.9hp By the way Awesome review on the 35e Can’t wait to see what Mercury can achieve in the future Love the videos
Great video. Cheers! Unfortunately, these higher-end electric motors are not very cost effective or practical for us average boaters. Nowhere near. I have an ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Plus that I use as a kicker/trolling motor on a 16' Lund, but my main motor is a Honda 20HP that gets the boat up on plane immediately, can cruise nicely at 15-18 mph, and just sips gas. I doubt that the motor featured here could approach that kind of performance with this boat, and the purchase price with power start and tilt comes in at just under $4000 (US).
No one has done a side by side with a gasser. 35e is 4.9hp at prop at what rpm? A 9.9 running 5500rpm with 2:1 gear box will turn prop at 2500rpm and will plane a lot of small boats. This boat was not on plane
I am interested in seeing the performance when you add 2 more adults onboard.
Camping gear, cooler with ice, food for a weekend, 2 adults 3 kids, flat of beer lol

By the way
Awesome review on the 35e
Can’t wait to see what Mercury can achieve in the future
Love the videos
Possibly!
This test is invalid as motor height is extremely wrong, I don't even know how mercury allowed you to do this haha
Can you show a close up of the motor mounts please

This is exactly what we said in the video.
Yeah, I appreciated your assessment. Just thought I'd add some of my own real-world experience with electrics vs petrol...

A long way to go before anything for a fisherman. Do these have solar charging capability?
I think that portable solar won’t put a dent in the requirements for daily use.
In the interest of conserving space can you run the 35e and 20e without the junction box and plug the external battery directly into the motor?
I think only the 20e
Can’t believe you did a test with the wrong shaft length! The drag is massive let alone not having more propellers to test 🤦🏻♂️🙈🙉🇦🇺
When that’s the only one available you have to get it done. Also, there’s only one propeller for the Avator.
I’ll be keeping my Go-Devil Surface drive.
So in Norway it's 15000$ USD... For a 9,9 electric motor.... Unsure if that includes one or two batteries
Price and range is a joke .. but give it at least 10 years of development
Every journey starts with the first step.
True ,, but is it truly good for the environment ,,, stat's show not really
If my lake doesn't allow gas motors is the price and range still a joke?
I am doing research on electric motors for that reason. Just wondering if there is a better option
Is that a plastic prop or metal prop? Looks cool
Some sort of composite. Not metal.
I’ll keep my hp500
What are the dimensions of the battery?
What about salt anyone who fishes salt water knows how destructive it is to anything mechanical- electrical not for me.
So your outboard isn’t mechanical - electrical? These are Salt water warranted but still not in a price ballpark for everyday applications.
I understand what you’re saying but Minn Kotas and motorguides have been living in salt water for years and they are pretty reliable
That made zero sense buddy
4000 dollar trolling motor
Is all PR. Too much drag with a boat and battery weight.
No one has done a side by side with a gasser. 35e is 4.9hp at prop at what rpm? A 9.9 running 5500rpm with 2:1 gear box will turn prop at 2500rpm and will plane a lot of small boats. This boat was not on plane
No thanks!
No thank you.
What's your choice for getting around that electric-motor-only lake then?
Don’t have an electric trolling motor?
@@FishingMonthlywhy not row the boat? No charging and no big batteries all over the place, and it won't cost 15000$
Don't bitch at it without trying it
not efficient sucks
