Savage Gear Thruster 12V 36LBS – Compact Electric Trolling Motor for Small Boats
The Thruster 12V 36LBS is a lightweight, silent, and highly efficient electric trolling motor designed for freshwater fishing. Built for small boats, dinghies, and inflatables, this motor delivers smooth and reliable propulsion on Irish lakes and slow-running rivers where stealth and control are essential.
With a peak thrust of 36 lbs, the Thruster offers more than enough power for boats up to 4.5 metres (15 ft), while remaining extremely quiet to avoid spooking fish. The weedless two-blade propeller ensures consistent performance even in shallow or vegetated water.
The impact-resistant fiberglass shaft and aluminium quick-tilt gator bracket provide durability and easy adjustment, while the telescopic handle allows comfortable operation from different seating positions. Five forward and two reverse speeds give precise control in all conditions.
An integrated LCD monitor with a two-digit display allows quick checks while on the water, and Savage Gear’s proven build quality ensures long-term reliability. Spare parts are available, and the motor is backed by a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Rhino VX 35 V2 Electric Outboard Motor – 35lb 12V motor for fishing boats
The Rhino VX 35 V2 Electric Outboard Motor is a lightweight transom-mounted motor delivering 35lb of thrust for small to medium-sized fishing boats. Powered by a 12V system with a maximum 430W input, it combines quiet running with efficient power consumption, making it particularly suitable for anglers who want controlled propulsion without the noise of a petrol outboard.
Designed for straightforward operation on the water, the VX 35 V2 features five forward and three reverse gears controlled through a telescopic tiller. The propeller immersion depth and steering resistance can be continuously adjusted, while the motor can be tilted up at the push of a button. A charge control display provides clear battery status information during use.
For boat fishing on Irish lakes and suitable sheltered coastal waters, the 35lb thrust provides a useful balance between portability and power. The stainless steel shaft and saltwater-protected construction also allow occasional saltwater use, while the quiet operation is particularly useful when approaching fishing areas without unnecessary disturbance.
