How big of a trolling motor do I need for my boat?

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 will want to increase your thrust.

How long will a 55 lb thrust trolling motor run?

The battery’s Amp-Hour rating is a factor in the runtime. The 55lb thrust motor has a 50ah battery that can run for an hour.

How long will a trolling motor run on a full battery?

How long will a 12v marine battery last with a trolling motor?

Will a bigger prop make trolling motor go faster?

The propellor is only so fast because the motor has so much power. If you put a bigger prop on a motor that isn’t designed for it, the larger prop will spin more slowly so the net speed gain is negative.
