How would this work behind a 22 ft pontoon boat with a 70 HP motor?

I would think that would work? Hard to tell our motor is 150 HP... Super Mable i awesome!

Should work well. We averaged about 25 mph, with both kids and adults and it worked great.

My friend has a pontoon boat, not sure the length and motor size, but it pulled it just fine. Our boys are younger, <8, so we don't just go wide open, but it pulled the tube fine.

I believe your boat would struggle to get up on plane. The tube does create quite a bit of drag. My boat is a 20 ft deck boat with a 150 four stroke and it doesn't have a real good hole shot, it takes it a while to plane but then watch out. The tube is quite stable, I've had someone stand while we were going straight. Everyone loves this tube. Best tube I've ever purchased.

I pull this tube with my jet ski. we had 2 adults on the jet ski and 3 adults weighing in at over 540 lbs on the tube and it pulls it fine. the jet ski cannot swing the tube as fast or hard as a boat can and does but the ride is great For adults and kids alike. when i rode the tube with 2 smaller kids the tube swings alot faster and can scare the kids enough to have alot of fun. with 3 adults the ride is great fun behind the jetski just not as crazy on the turns as a boat can pull it.

It would work, but I have read that a 30" shaft is for canoe's. Also remember that the bigger the motor the bigger the battery. The battery I use weights 53 lbs. + I wired it with 10 gauge wire up towards the front of the boat so the rear with my weight and the battery wasn't so heavy at the boat, also the cost of wire + connectors @ $40.00 + a good deep cell battery. Just things to think about, get on the internet and do some research on electric powering canoes. I would think a 35 lbs. thrust would do the job, but I don't know how fast you want to go.

Usually used for smaller motors 9 -20 Hp if you have screw type fastener that clamp to the back of the boat it might work .

Yes it will work. How long it will last depends on alot of things such as the size of the boat, the speed you are running it at, etc etc.

This is a great motor but I'm not sure it would be good for an inflatable boat- not sure how you would attach it

covers the whole deck and motor at least om my 22ft pontoon. i imagine with some rigging you could get your old sticks to work but there is no actual spot to insert them. As far as trailering im sure with some bungees you could definitely secure it tight enough

It would work fine for that purpose, but the trick woul be getting it to the middle. If it runs for to long without being submerged at least to the intake, the motor will burn up.

I use mine on a 20 ft pontoon and it works well provided you have a long enough anchor rope. If the rope is almost vertical it will not work. Someone else suggests a length of chain on the anchor and that would work as well.

I run mine on a 24ft pontoon and it trolls great. You shouldn't have any problem.

The power setting is 100% adjustable so you just use what you need. The motor is pretty efficient so you should get a lot of time from your battery. I would not go to the 55lb for a raft but this should be fine

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.

I honestly do not know it it would or not as we don't own a pontoon type boat. Sorry I can't be of more help...=((

Motor & wiring with 8 gage wire and spade fittings, owners manual provided. You will need: 24 volt system (2 -12v batteries in series (w/8 gage wire), boxes, room in boat), circuit breaker(s)w/ many different setups, secure transom mount that won't damage boat; optional quick connect fittings for batteries, wing nuts(?), charging system (w/its own many options - onboard is better). Maintaining the batteries is a big job with this motor. If backtrolling, turn motor head around. Comfortable place to sit and operate motor and optional neck brace and seat belts for quick surges! See MinnKota web site for more. You're just getting started, bud. But it does have the power for my 17 ft Fisher!

I can share my experience with you so you can make a determination yourself as all boats are different. I use mine as a motor for a 27' Pontoon Boat that I stripped and turned into a floating TikiBar (named "Pontiki"). It doesn't move very fast but is capable of moving it around a mile long lake with roughly 4.5 miles of shoreline with 10-12 adults on board. Power consumption is minimal.Hope this helps!

Hi Brian, Thanks for your question. If you could tell me a little about your one-person pontoon boat (brand and model number would be great) I'll do some checking and see if I can give you an authoritative answer on whether or not the MotorGuide R3 trolling motor will work with your boat. Thanks, Bob Harlow MTNA

I have it on my pontoon boat. I cruise around at 15 -20 mph. It is perfect for us. I have using it for a year now and it has held up well.
