Motor restrictions
Hi guys. I can’t find any info in the freshwater regs, so looking for info on motor restrictions and how they work. My new boat will have a 50 hp outboard, as well as a transommounted 55 lb electric. Am I legal in an electric only lake with the 50 tilted up out of the water? Same question in 10 hp lakes? I could obviously disconnect fuel from the 50 too, but don’t know if this makes any difference. I do have a 9.9 I could mount for the 10 hp lakes, but I don’t really want to take a 50 on and off semi regularly. There are only a couple of lakes that I have fished in the past that are restricted, but I figure it’s worth knowing the laws so I can plan better.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Edit: I have found anecdotal info from BC people saying COs told them it’s fine if the big motor is out of the water, but would appreciate any links to the actual regulation. Contrary to what my wife thinks, I do NOT believe everything I read on the webz...

If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?
