Electric motors Savage Gear

More and more rivers, lakes and ponds are banning the use of combustion engines. Their main drawbacks are that they are noisy and polluting. Some lakes, such as Lac de Mervent in the Vendée, prohibit the use of this type of motor because the water from the lake is used for drinking by local residents after treatment. To preserve its quality, it is necessary to avoid any risk of pollution.

This is where electric motors come into their own. Lighter, quieter and cleaner, they are the only type of motor authorised for use on this type of water body.

Savage Gear motors, such as Thruster, are perfectly suited to this application.

On other waters where internal combustion engines are permitted, electric motors are appreciated for their simplified drift management.

Electric motors for the sea

At sea, electric motors are less common but just as useful. They won't be your main engine, but they will define your drift along a rocky coastline or around a rock head.

Their shafts are longer than those for freshwater boats, to accommodate the often higher freeboard on sea-going craft.

What's more, they are treated to resist salt and corrosion. You don't want to take an untreated motor to sea, as it will quickly be eaten away by corrosion. The Thruster SW electric motor from Savage Gear is perfectly suited to the needs of sea fishing.
