If you have (or have been meaning to get) an inflatable tender, you won’t want to miss these Black Friday deals on electric trolling motors from Walmart.

They’ll make you cleaner, quieter, and less obtrusive presence on the water while saving you some dollars.

First things first: trolling motors vs electric outboard motors

Black Friday isn’t the time to  get back into the petrol vs electric motor debate, but you should know that there are two electric options on the market.

Trolling motors with separate batteries (so called because they were mainly used as auxiliary slow-speed power for anglers) and integral-battery motors (built for dinghy propulsion).

These are probably the two you’ll be looking at if you’re thinking about changing to an electric outboard.

Trolling motors are cheap and simple, so they’re still popular for low-speed applications. However they do require a separate 12V battery.

Electric outboards with integral batteries are more sophisticated units, designed to give you greater speed and a wider range of power, though on any 3-4m boat the hull speed will be the main thing that limits your speed.

These will often include displays showing speed, range at a given speed, and percentage of battery capacity remaining, but these features come with a higher price tag.
