So is the concensus that a transom-mount would not work? Remember that I only expect it to perform on fairly calm water.
I'd go for a cheap hand-steered bow mount because I'm already convinced they are better, but I have the issue of attachment when I have no access to the underside of the gunwhales. Don't really want to cut a hole! Kd may be able to help me construct my own mounting plate, we'll see.
QUESTION: What would last longer? A 12-volt and carrying an extra battery to switch to when the first one dies down, or a 24-volt system running off of both batteries all the time?
