New motor for the Kayak so decided to take the kids for a spin round the moorings at Shoebury Common beach. 03 September 2011. Air 26C, Water 18C. Tide 5.8M. Still rising at time of shoot. Quite a good kick for 18lb of thrust and coped with some fast turns particularly to avoid the Hobie coming the other way! Motored for a total of 1 hour and lost about 1/3 of battery (12V 20AH Golf Caddy batt). The motor isn't recommended for saltwater use but got a good flush in a bin full of fresh water the next day.
