I fish lakes that allow up to 9.9 hp. So I am forced to use my trolling motor but that is so slow. Will it pull my 1300lb Bass Boat better than this?

It has the power to move the boat, my Jon boat loaded is about 600 lbs and this motor makes wake. Be aware it has a very short shaft so you'll want to make sure where you mount it is low enough.

I really dont know max speed. I use it to pull a 16 ft jon boat on the hwy w no probs or concer n.

I have the same boat. The 55 lb thrust and a 48" shaft work fine for me. If you are using the remote, you can't use the foot control at the same time. I think the remote is much better than the foot control for all fishing conditions, including tight spots.

Nope, there's no place to mount a trolling motor. I also found that it is much slower than hard shelled kayaks, although that was to be expected.

Yes. I used a 30in trolling motor with a battery box. Zips me and my family around the lake for hours. You just need the mount kit to get going.

No this would not work for even the smallest of electric trolling motors. Not enough stored energy.

I asked my husband your question since it's actually his fish finder. He's only used it twice so far at two different sized lakes and he pointed out two things, he hasn't fished for bass (mainly trout) and he hasn't actually tried to pick up a jig 30 feet below the boat. At first he didn't think it would pick it up but he doesn't have anything to back up that theory so he couldn't say either way...sorry...

No. This wire is sized to handle the load from the charger. I haven't checked but I doubt it is of a large enough gauge to handle the full load from your trolling motor. I do not think it would be safe / electrically responsible to do what you want to do. Find a calculator or forum online to determine what gauge wire you need to handle the load you want to pull over the distance you want to pull it and buy the right size cable by the foot. It's no fun when your boat catches on fire. Trust me I have seen it happen.

Yes,I believe that small a motor would be no problem. Just keep in mind that there is no rudder board, or anything that could control speed/direction beyond a trolling action.

No. Get a short shaft engine and use a 4 blade prop for such a short boat, or a double-cupped stainless prop. I ran a 60 on my 13 foot Whaler with the SS double-cupped prop and it was great. A long shaft motor will just not be lifted high enough, unless you mount the mini jacker top edge above the transom edge which not only looks crappy it is less secure, and if you even hydraulically jack plated it you'd make the rig less stable raising the weight in the rear that high. Remember an 11 ft. boat going about 20+ is not very stable to begin with. Wrong approach in my opinion--sorry. And I'm a bit of a daredevil in some things. Good luck.

Would not recommend it. It is really a fresh water reel. I have used mine to surf fish, not as smooth as it once was. I have caught 40 pound catfish with it.

Standard ski boat will pull it. It has about as much drag as two towables, but not as much as three. We have a V8 with about 325 hp.

For most people, this thing is plenty fast, especially if you're not familiar with brushless motors. This isn't something that you'd play with in your swimming pool. I would definitely take a look on youtube, there are plenty of videos. Keep in mind, the boat would be faster in front of you, for some reason I always think the boat looks slow in the videos I've taken.Here is mine on a lake in Willits, CAhttps://youtu.be/qk6b1Uho4lg

It depends on what you mean by too much. The size is not much bigger than a 30-36lbs thrust. Speed will be the same for any of the 12 volt models, they can just push more weight and are a little better when there is a current or waves.I use my 55lbs thrust motor on my 17ft canoe.

I use mine on lake Erie trolling for walleye and steelhead, have no problem, they work great.
