Saltwater Fishing and Charter
A stainless steel body with engineering plastics caps, specified by Caroute for high-corrosive and high-salt environments.
What Goes Wrong Today
- Aluminium housings corrode through a season in salt
The stainless steel body option exists specifically for high-salt service.
- Shaft seals fail where service is far away
On the stainless body the propeller shaft's oil sealer can be changed more easily.
- Engine noise moves fish
Brushless drive with quieter power than a brushed motor or a petrol outboard.
What This Application Actually Needs
Corrosion-resistant housing
Serviceable shaft seal
Helm control that keeps the working deck clear
Thrust to hold station against tide
