Hi, I have a 6 hp motor(55lbs) as a kicker motor during trolling,do you think this is sufficient?

This bracket is built very well. If the surface it is attached to will handle the 6 hp motor you should be good to go. I'm only using a 2 hp Johnson on mine but would not be the least worried about a larger engine. I'm very happy with this bracket.

Absolutel! I had a 9.9 and it was more than adequate for it. Garelick is a first class company and have high quality products. Go for it!

Absolutely! I have one on the swim deck of a 20 ft. Seaswirl and it works perfect. You need a horizontal surface to mount to. Very well engineered product.

5 watts is about .007 horsepower, so it is not going to offset the drain of a trolling motor. It might run a small water fountain pump, to give an idea of how much water you could push with it. I use it on a farm use truck that is not used often enough to keep the battery charged. It is a lot better in that role than one of the cheap "battery maintainer" panels you might see in the stores.

Hell yeah.. It should. But you know kickers are in their own class but i think the amp can handle. It's still going strong for me. A year and 2 months after I got it.

It would work but isn't big enough to hold a large cherge. In other words the trolling motor would drain it fairly quick.

It should work just fine since it will handle 40 amps per pole. I am running a 220/240 volt motor with 20 amps per pole, 40 amps total. 6 amps will not be much of a draw, so you will not be stressing it at all.

sure it will power it but I dont think very long, one would have to know the current or power draw of your motor. I use it to power my fish finder and use a marine battery for the trolling motor ... go all day with the bigger battery .. so I would not depend on this little battery last long on a trolling motor.

Shawn, this battery is for game camera or fish finders. Only has 7.0 amps. A trolling motor battery is similar to a car battery. Thanks

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.

This is what I bought for mine. Minn Kota Endura C2 30-lb. Thrust Trolling Motor with 30" Shaft. I then bought a 3-In-1 Jump Starter And Power Supply from Harbour Freight to power it. Seems to work pretty well, but have not used it for extended time so not sure how long the battery will last at one outing.

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.

I had two enclosed 12" L7's running off one zxs1500.1. There is more than enough power to push a 15". I'd check the kicker website (full not mobile) where they give the best amp information. You don't want too much amp because you will ruin your subs over time.

Yes, but not through this panel. The trolling motor usually needs a 50 amp service, these are 10 amp max each switch. On my Jon boat, I use the Bigfoot Trolling Motor Switch - Amazon.com‎

Yes, according to the manufacturer, though I haven't done so yet. There is a small flat area on the inside of the right-rear compartment that is meant to be used to attach a trolling motor. Drawback would appear to be the need to sit facing backwards in order to control a simple trolling motor. Also, so far as I can tell, the battery would need to sit unsecured on the floor of the boat. I wasn't aware of the mount mentioned by M. Evans but may look into it to see if it makes mounting a motor easier.

This battery is used to power my RV travel trailer, and does great! I don't know about a trolling motor, but this IS a deep cycle gel battery and should power any 12 volt system for quite a while before needing a charge.

Yes my son uses a trolling motor on his. Be aware that several things are needed to use a motor.

these guys dont know what theykre talking about. i used it for a similar motor. a "ust" generator. most 6.5 hp motors are universal. it SHOULD work.

It is motor capable trolling motor but you have to purchase the motor mount package. Very easy to get ready and take apart. It is very sturdy. I'm not sure more than three adults and two children would be comfortable. My husband and I have used ours a few times and enjoy it we brought it for our family campout where everyone took turns using it. We have only used it on small lakes.
