ePropulsion the pioneering electric propulsion experts are to sponsor Reel Masters, the UK's first Saltwater Angling Show & Competition.
This new festival-feel event combines exciting live action angling competitions in Weymouth Bay together everything anglers will need in Weymouth Pavilion from 30 September to 2 October. With live music, delicious food and local vendors activities include Introduction to Angling experiences, both on and off the water, educational talks, expert panels, demonstrations and the latest fishing tackle and boat equipment.
Steve Bruce, MD ePropulsion UK explains, "We are delighted to be supporting the inaugural Reel Masters. ePropulsion is always keen to support events that encourage newcomers to enjoy water-based activities, challenge the experts to be the best in their class, and are seeking to find sustainable ways of enjoying our oceans."
ePropulsion will participate in the Branded Boat competition in association with Plymouth Pilots, the traditional west country boat builders. The Plymouth Pilot 18 has been fitted with an ePropulsion Pod Drive 3.0, a 3kW electric inboard motor that is the equivalent of a 6HP engine. Ideal for anglers, the motor is clean, totally quiet and highly reliable. With few moving parts it does not require any additional maintenance or any need to store oil and fuel board which may leak into bilges or the ocean.
In the exhibition, ePropulsion will be showing and demonstrating their portable and long-range electric outboards together with the POD drives. The range includes the:
- Spirit 1.0 Plus and Evo portable electric outboards
- Navy 3.0 & 6.0 - long range electric outboards
- POD 1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 inboard Pod Drives
- Vaquita electric kayak motor
Andrew Webster, Reel Masters MD comments, "We are thrilled to welcome ePropulsion to be part of this new, long-awaited show that caters to the needs of the thousands of anglers in the UK. There's no doubt that electric propulsion is going to play a significant part in the future of boating and angling, and ePropulsion's involvement will help spread the word within the angling community."
