We recommend using only Deep Cycle or Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. Conventional car batteries are not designed for continuous discharge, so they wear out quickly and do not provide a steady voltage. These batteries will damage your electric boat motor! When selecting a battery, pay attention to the voltage requirements of the motor (e.g., 12V or 24V).

The basic rule is that for every 200-250 kg total weight (boat + passengers + equipment), at least 10-12 lb of thrust should be calculated for calm waters. This is also influenced by currents, drift, and wind, so a higher value is recommended for rivers and the sea. For an average 4-5 meter fishing boat, a motor with at least 54 lb or 65 lb thrust is recommended to remain safely controllable in windy conditions, but this also depends on the type of boat.

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Watersnake engines is their special corrosion protection. The shafts are made of stainless steel and the internal components receive extra protection, ensuring excellent performance in both marine (saltwater) and freshwater environments. ?

Bow thrusters (e.g., Stealth, Geo-Spot) are mounted at the front of the boat and "pull" the boat, allowing for much more precise control, especially in windy conditions. stern motors (e.g., Venom) are mounted at the rear of the boat, are easier to install, and are ideal for smaller rubber boats or kayaks.

Yes, one of the most popular features of the Geo-Spot series is the digital anchor (Anchor Mode). At the touch of a button, the motor holds the boat in place based on GPS coordinates, so anglers don't have to bother with a physical anchor, even in currents or wind.
