Mack Boring & Parts and ePropulsion announced that Jeff Little has joined Mack Boring as business development manager for the electric category. Little will focus on growing the dealer network and working with manufacturers to improve electric propulsion options for fishing kayaks and jonboats.
“Jeff brings a rare combination of paddling expertise, electric propulsion knowledge and close relationships with the shops serving kayak anglers,” Tom Watson, president of ePropulsion Americas, said in a press release. “His work with our product-development team has already helped us address the practical needs of this market.”
The release said Little’s appointment follows nine months of product development work with ePropulsion on systems designed specifically for kayaks. That work has included the kLite 750, which weighs less than 15 pounds with its integrated battery; the kMax 2200 kayak motor; and the 48-volt kMax battery, which earned an award in the Energy category in this year’s ICAST New Product Showcase.
