[QUOTE="tom q vaxy, post: 483844, member: 25912"] from a motor longevity perspective, does it matter if the motor is pulling (bow location) or pushing (stern)? does the motor work harder (= shorter life) and/ or use more juice in either location? not concerned about convenience, as buying a new motor prematurely or rowing home because the batteries went kaputski will erase any minor ease of use. this will not be for fishing, just gunk-holing on a lazy afternoon. maybe getting home ahead of the thunderhead, too, if the planner/ navigator turns in a really bad performance.
