What size motor can you put on a 14 foot jon boat?
It is not uncommon for a jon boat to have up to 25 HP. Depending on the weather and the boat’s weight, 20 HP can give you a top speed of 20mph.
How long should a trolling motor be for a jon boat?
The size of the motor for the jon boat is a question. A 48′′ shaft and 55lb thrust is the ideal Jon boat motor. Jon boats are light, so they don’t need much power to move across the water, and you don’t want a long shaft that ends up getting in the way.
What size trolling motor shaft do I need on a jon boat?
Measure the distance from the horizontal mounting point on the bow to the waterline and then add 20 to the result. You want a shaft length that is equal to or greater than the sum.
Is a 55lb trolling motor enough?
You’re definitely looking at investing in a 55lb thrust motor on a large vessel. If you’re going to be out on saltwater or moving against a current, it’s a good idea to go up from there.
What is the max HP for a 14 foot aluminum boat?
The maximum power for a 14 foot Jon boat is between 15 and 20hp, but some will fall outside of that range.
Can you use just a trolling motor on a jon boat?
If you want to power a jon boat, you have to use an adequately powered trolly motor for the size of the boat. If you choose an underpowered trolly motor, you might have trouble moving the boat against the wind.
How much does a 14 aluminum boat weigh?
Smaller aluminum fishing boats can weigh up to 400 pounds while a 14 feet cabin cruiser can weigh as much as 15,000 pounds.
How do I know what size trolling motor I need?
The weight of the boat is the most important factor to consider when selecting a motor. If you want a minimum of 2 lbs of thrust for every 100 lbs, you should start with 2 lbs. If you have a 3000lb boat that is fully loaded, the calculation is (3000/100) which is 60 lbs of thrust.
How long will a 12v battery run a trolling motor?
A 12v battery can last for up to 5 hours when running a motor at a moderate speed. The battery won’t last long if the motor is running at full speed.
Is a trolling motor enough for a jon boat?
If you want to power a jon boat, you have to use an adequately powered trolly motor for the size of the boat. If you choose an underpowered trolly motor, you might have trouble moving the boat against the wind.
Will a trolling motor push a jon boat?
Yes, that is correct. If the water flow is good and the Jon boat is in good shape, a trolly motor can push the boat upstream. The distance from the ramp to the fishing spot is what determines the motor troll’s function.
Can you put a motor on a jon boat?
Repowering a used jon boat with a new Mercury outboard motor is a great way to save money. The FourStroke Mercury motor from 2.5hp to 40hp will deliver easy starting, great economy and clean, quiet operation for these boats.
