Thank you. I am going to try it out to see how it works out. I really just want it to help get me from place to place and help with going against the wind.
I still have not decided on a battery. I really want to keep the weight down. I saw a recommendation for this battery on a couple of water craft forums

I did look inside the control box and found that it would be too easy to cut it off the shaft and actually move to the front of the boat. It has only simple controls of two switches, on/off & fast/slow.
I hope to try it this weekend I'll post the results.
