Full details

The Rhino VX 35 V2 is an ideal electric outboard motor for anglers and recreational boaters operating belly boats, inflatables, canoes, or small fishing vessels who require a balance of lightweight portability and reliable thrust. Providing 35lb of thrust with highly efficient power consumption, it enables extended time on the water; however, users should note that as a 12V 430W motor, it is designed strictly for smaller craft and is not intended for heavy-duty planing or high-speed marine transit.
