The size of trolling motor you need for your boat is determined by the size and weight of your boat. A trolling motor that is too large or too powerful for your boat can cause damage to your boat and may be dangerous.
Your trolling motor should be in the water deep enough that the propeller is completely submerged. If the propeller is not completely submerged, it will not have enough power to propel your boat.
Trolling motors are electric motors that are used to power small boats. They are mounted on the back of the boat and are used to propel the boat forward at a slow speed. Trolling motors are not meant for high speeds and are typically used for fishing or other slow-speed activities. The speed of a trolling motor is typically around 5 miles per hour.
A 40 lb thrust trolling motor can propel a small boat at about 5 mph. Larger boats will require more power to achieve this speed.

How simple it is to set up and operate this motor astounds me. With the Intex Composite Motor Mount, I mounted it to a Seahawk 2 and a Seahawk 4. For my maximum load application, which consists of me and three children in the "large" boat, the Endura C2 30 has plenty of power. The motor, batteries, passengers, and fishing equipment weigh a combined 700 pounds. We can go at speed 3 for about 3 or 4 hours while using a 750MCA Everstart marine battery, and the battery still has 50% of its capacity. When set to speed 5, it truly has a nice kick, and we actually leave a wake! Every curve of The Minn Kota is dripping with quality. It includes simple controls, such as a steering lock/tightening lever, a tilt shaft, an easy click speed control, and depth control. Even when the motor is running, I cannot hear it. As my eight-year-old takes it around, it is lightweight. I would just recommend upgrading the battery connector. It includes a kind of terminal end that fastens to the battery. To make it simple to detach the motor from my battery box, I prefer a connector that looks like a plug. The terminal end might function for others as it is just for my setup. The Minn Kota Endura C2 30lb is a great small engine, and it's reasonably priced.

fantastic small motor It's quite a kick for me because I'm used to a trolling motor with a 30lb push. There is absolutely NO indication between the speeds, and very frequently, I believed it was on zero but the blade was still spinning. Newport, please improve this! That is the only reason I didn't give it five stars, and I think it's a significant one. It could even deserve three stars. Put some clicks in at different speeds to, at the very least, define 0 better! It's so quiet that you really can't tell if the device is on, which is a shame because it's a wonderful little gadget. I've used the device on Lake Nockamixon in Pennsylvania for around 10 hours since I bought it a couple of weeks ago.UPDATE: After using this motor for around 50 hours, I have an update. I still believe Newport Vessels should address the inability to turn to zero and knowing what speed you're actually traveling at. Unfortunately, the sleeve collar under the motor direction clamp broke when I was on the water after just 6 weeks of use, forcing me to keep the motor at least 2 feet under the surface. I attempted to duct tape it, but it was ineffective.I called Newport and then filled out a warranty claim form; I'll find out the result soon. I believe the entire setup that attaches the motor to the transom is pretty fragile and inexpensive. It was made entirely of metal with an old 30 lb thrust engine, and it endured incredibly well even after years of use. I do have to say, however, and I'm not sure whether this is because I'm coming from an old 30lbs motor, but the motor on this is fantastic, even though I don't see much longevity with it. The motor has frequently hauled me through weeds and appears to be well-made and powerful.I'll update this review when my warranty claim is resolved. Finally, I'll just mention that the Newport answering service representative was courteous, professional, and knowledgable. The will give me the new components I need to repair it along with step-by-step instructions.

I have a Minn Kota Riptide 80 ST trolling motor that runs on 24 volts, similar as this: i-Pilot and foot pedal-free Minn Kota Riptide 80 ST Saltwater Bow-Mount Trolling Motor (80-lb Thrust, 60" Shaft)My Ranger boat originally had a Ranger Plug installed, however whenever the service technician worked on my trolling motor, he would criticize my plug. There were four electrical plugs, none of which were marked, making it difficult for them to distinguish between positive and negative, in my opinion. He persuaded me to swap to the official Minn Kota plug, like this one: 12 V DC, 36 V DC Minn Kota 12V Plug

These are factory-made components for MotorGuide. I really wish the plug had around 4 feet of 10 awg red and black wire already attached to it, eliminating the need for butt splices. Over time, butt splices become loose as a result of moving your motor pedal to various locations on the deck. If they provided you with 4 feet of wire, you could splice rings onto the ends of the wire and link them to the foot control of the trolling motor. Other than that, this is a good product.

It served as a plug for the trolling motor on my boat. For a new electrician, the installation instructions were a little unclear. The very heavy gauge wire (6 gauge) was attached using a ferule system that was questionable and made it challenging to get the wire to hold. The stripped wire had to be placed within a ferule (light metal cup), then the ferule had to be compressed to the wire using set screws. This destroyed the ferule, and you needed more ferules if it didn't hold (which it didn't on the first time). Since I was only using two wires, it was a good thing there were 2 additional ferules because they held the second time (but a little on the edge). The plug/receptacle proved reliable and practical after it was fitted. Unlike those plug/lock outlets, there are no problems with a straight plug in, and the receptacle holds the plug securely. Although I have little experience with anything else, I believe there should be a better way to attach the high gauge wire, but the plug is still functional.

I primarily purchased this battery because Amazon suggested that people who purchased a MinnKota trolling motor also purchased this. The battery performed precisely as other reviews had predicted it would, was arrived in approximately four days, and charged up without any issues. It can operate continuously at full (fifth) speed for nearly an hour when mounted on my kayak. The possibilities greatly expand if I want to travel at a slower speed (2 or 3). When I was out the other night, I only used around one-third of the battery after an hour and a half. I'm content.

Count me among those who are shocked that this piece of plastic actually functions! If the wind is blowing or I'm on a body of water with any kind of current, my 30# thrust trolling motor on a 14-foot canoe works beautifully. I purchased this rudder in the belief that it couldn't possibly make steering the canoe worse than it was before.Wow, was I taken aback! On a day when it was a little windy and the water had some ripples, I took this out on a sizable stream (more of a river...) I've had this setup (canoe, motor) for more than 15 years and am familiar with how it will behave, but when I started the trolling motor and gave it more than a quarter turn, I immediately circled about!!! I would have hardly turned if it weren't for the rudder. No longer (or at least not as much) overcompensating for the current. I managed to travel nearly straight.I'm not sure if I just imagined it, but it felt like the battery in my trolling motor lasted longer as well. On a charge, I can typically get 8 hours. I still had two-thirds of my battery after six hours of being outside.Consider the positive ratings while making a buy.

I mounted my battery for my Sun Dolphin Sportsman boat using this. It works excellent, is superbly constructed, and is simple to set up and use in my boat. I have everything I need to supply electricity to my trolling motor, depth finder, phone, and other USB type connections. I have two circuit breakers that guard against battery and electrical device damage. While on the water, I can also check the state of my batteries. I use the trolling motor to fish for bass even though I have a Coleman Gas outboard motor to get me to isolated locations. It's convenient to know how much battery power you still have while out fishing. For individuals who really want a lot of options for their electrical items out on the water, I highly recommend this battery box.
A 55 lb thrust trolling motor will propel a kayak at a speed of approximately 5 miles per hour.
Assuming you are asking how long a 24V trolling motor will last if used regularly, the answer is that it depends on the make and model of the trolling motor, as well as how well it is maintained. Some trolling motors can last for several years with proper care, while others may only last a few years. Ultimately, it is important to consult the owner’s manual for your particular trolling motor to get the most accurate estimate of its lifespan.
The average battery will last between 6-8 hours with a 55lb thrust trolling motor. However, this will also depend on the speed at which you are running the motor, as well as other factors such as wind and waves. If you are running at a higher speed, or in choppy water, your battery will not last as long.
Assuming a 12-volt trolling motor, a 100 amp hour battery will run the trolling motor for approximately 8.3 hours. This calculation is based on the average trolling motor drawing approximately 12 amps.
How long will a 55 lb thrust trolling motor run? This trolling motor is ideal for freshwater fishing and can run for up to 5 hours on a single charge.
A trolling motor is a small, portable motor used to propel a fishing boat at slow speeds. Trolling motors are usually electric, and they are powered by batteries. The battery is the heart of the trolling motor, and it will determine how long the motor will run. Lithium batteries are the newest and most popular type of battery for trolling motors. They are lightweight, have a long lifespan, and can hold a charge for a long time. A lithium battery will usually run a trolling motor for 5-8 hours on a single charge.
