How fast will a 55 lb trolling motor go?
If riding conditions are perfect, the use of the best fuel is likely to result in a maximum speed of less than 5 miles per hour. It would take two hours for the deep cycle battery charge to be fully utilized.
What size trolling motor do I need?
The thrust needs to be at least 2 lbs. for every 100 lbs. of fully loaded boat weight. If the wind or current is a big factor in where you fish, you’ll want to increase your thrust.
Can you hook up fish finder to trolling motor battery?
The power draw and “run dead” tendencies of the trolly motor batteries make it hard for sensitive electronics to operate.
What trolling motors are compatible with Garmin fish finder?
The MotorGuide trolling motor transducer can be connected to the four-pin transducer port of the fish finder and ECHOMAP units.
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.
What size battery do I need for a 55 lb thrust trolling motor?
If you were to use a 55lb thrust motor for two hours at full speed, you would need a battery with a 100 to 120Ah rating.
Can you have too much thrust on a trolling motor?
It’s not possible to have too much thrust and go at a variable speed. It’s more useful and helps the battery life. Many people try to save money by going to the electric trolly, but they regret it.
How much thrust is 1 HP?
A unit of measurement is equal to the amount of work done in a second. There isn’t a correlation between thrust and power. It is not true that fifteen pounds of thrust doesn’t equal one horsepower.
What size trolling motor do I need for a 20 foot boat?
You can start thinking about a 36-volt system for your boat if it’s in the range of 18 to 20 feet. There is enough power in a 24v trolly motor to deal with any situation. The best motor for this size of bass boat is a 60′′ shaft that has 80 lbs of thrust.
How do you measure trolling motor shaft length?
To get the correct shaft length for your boat, you need to measure the distance from the transom to the waterline. Add 20” to the measurement to get the shaft length you want. If you’re stuck between two sizes, go for the bigger one.
