Hi,
I am looking at getting a 40 to 50 lb thrust 12v electric outboard. There seem to be some good deals available on the Zebco Rhino VX 54 and VX 44. Does anyone have any experience on these and would the Minn Kota range of engines be much better. In particular I am wondering if the flexible shaft is much better than the usual steel one on other brands.

Also does anyone have advice on where to get a suitable battery for these at a reasonable price?

Zebec seems to be a good brand for fishing gear but there is little about the engines on their site.

Any advice appreciated.
