Bassyaks has designed a 12 volt motor kit for the Pro Angler 12, this kit is even better than the 14's. The batteries, either 1 or 2 22NF 55Ahrs will fit inside the center hatch and still will allow the plano boxes to be stowed as intended. The foot pedals are completely out of the way and still you'll be able to stow your rods as intended. The Bracket setup is the same as on the 14. The choices of a 30 ,40, or 45 thrust lb motor combined with the new speed prop will put this boat in the 6.5 - 7 mph range and with a capacity of 110 Ahrs , you may be looking at 10 hours of run time. The throttle control will be a PWM electronic speed control with variable speed control and extended run times Top speed was 5.3 mph
