We'll have to wait for EnCon to weigh in here but it was my understanding that the rules that state no gas motors DOES NOT apply to augers UNLESS it is a town ordinance. If it is printed in the anglers guide, that is a state mandated rule, not the town so you should be OK. But to 100% sure, you need to check with the town.

We get asked all the time at the shop, that was the way I remember the explanation...
