BiggyJ Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi everyone... As I now have Hep C and Stage 4 Cirrhosis of the Liver, I have a hard time walking very far without having to take a break. I love to fish on the long piers that go out into the gulf but carrying all our fishing gear is a monster task for my wife and me. So what I want to do is build a motorized cart to take everything out with. Building the cart is easy. Powering it is why I am here. I want to use a 12v car battery and motor, and a Reduction Gear Box. Wiring it and mating/mounting it is elementary as well. What exactly I need to know is, what reduction ratio I need and what RPM motor would match it for MY application. Also current rating (or HP) to pull say… 70 pounds or so. Last thing, as I am on Disability/SSI now, I cannot purchase new Items. So can you guys/gals recommend what types of equipment could I salvage the gear box and motor from? Thank you all very much for your help, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
