What We Carry

Outboards & Propulsion

From the outboard on the transom to the battery that fires it, this is the hardware that moves your boat. We stock it, size it and rig it to your hull — then service it when the season winds down.

Outboard motors
Mercury and Tohatsu, from kicker to main power — sized and rigged to your hull.
Trolling motors
Bow- and transom-mount motors with the thrust and shaft length matched to your boat.
Props & prop matching
Aluminum and stainless props, pitched to get your rig on plane and running clean.
Fuel tanks & lines
Portable and built-in tanks, primer bulbs, fittings and fresh fuel line.
Batteries & chargers
Starting and deep-cycle batteries plus on-board chargers to keep them topped off.

The best setup is the one that fits how you fish and where you boat. Bring in your rig (or the specs) and we’ll help you get it dialed — no pressure, ever.

Trolling Motor Guide

Match the thrust to your boat

Not sure how much motor you need? Slide to your boat’s length and we’ll point you to the minimum thrust, the battery system to run it and a starting shaft length.

Recommended minimum55lb thrust

Battery system: 12V
Shaft length: 42"
Batteries: 1 deep-cycle

How long is your boat?18 ft

A rule of thumb: about 2 lb of thrust for every 100 lb of fully-loaded boat, then size up for wind, current and a heavy load. These are general recommendations — bring in your boat and we’ll match the motor, batteries and shaft to it.

Three Ways to Move

Main power, kicker & electric

Most boats run a mix — a main outboard to get there, a kicker or electric to fish it. Here’s what each is for, and we’ll help you rig the combination that fits how you boat.

Power at a glance

Main outboard
Your primary power
Mercury and Tohatsu outboards to get up and go and put the boat on plane — sized to your hull and rigged right at the shop.
Kicker outboard
Trolling speed & get-home backup
A small gas outboard for slow, steady trolling and cheap insurance if the main motor ever quits on the water.
Electric trolling motor
Quiet, precise boat control
Bow- and transom-mount motors for creeping a shoreline and holding position — size the thrust with the guide above.
