Will I be able to put my Minn-Kota 55lb thrust trolling motor on this fuse block? Or my starter motor (20hp boat motor)?

I really doubt that. The description of the fuse block states it is for 30 amp fuses. You should look for the amps rating of each device to see if it is less than 30 amps. Any starter I have seen normally draws well in excess of 30 amps. I don't have any documentation with me on that fuse block to verify, but you must also total up the running load of all devices and make sure it is below the rating of the entire fuse block.

Robert, I would be happy to answer your question for you and also let you know with a phone call 360-755-0665 you can save some money.Most customers use the Minn Kota Endura 30lb thrust motor. this is sufficient for most applications. The 50lb would give you that little extra in case you got caught in a heavy wind.Ron SchmidtValley Sports and More360-755-0665

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.

Jon Boat Trolling Motor Thrust Because they're so light, Joboats don't need excessive amounts of power. You'll find 30 lbs to 50 lbs motor most common on these lightweight vessels. If using a bow mount motor for the additional control and feature set, a smaller 45 lbs or 50 lbs motor should be plenty of thrust. http://www.trollingmotors.net/trolling-motor-thrust-guide

i dont no for sure you would have to look at the tag on the motor an check the shaft size an mounting holes if there the same it should work .amps on the motor should not hurt anthing i went up alittle in amp draw no problem. used mine on my bixby it was a littie more powerful than what came with the stove an bulit alot stronger on the bearings i went 4originals to 1 of these still have the first one i put in the second one i bought is put aside for when an if the first one goes out . but that said it is a good motor an gear box. i hope that i helped alittle bit.

The size fuse depends on the load. Typical on a main line for a boat or rv is 50 amps. The fuse is on the hot side going to the converter. Hopefully your input side has a fuse if it is from a charger. If from a motor, ie generator/alternator, no additional one is typically neede.

Hi,Yes it should work fine with a trolling motor, HINT; Get a 7AH solar charger to lay next to it so you can extend the trolling time.Then you can plug it in for a good full charge.Very sturdy, very strong, Hope this helps

You need the motor mount that attached to the back of the boat. Also, I used a marine battery for my motor. It has to be a marine battery not a normal car battery. Other then that just the trolling motor, motor mount, and battery is all you need.

Hello Frank O,A trolling motor for this boat is problematic. Not only is the engine mount somewhat inadequate, but controlling the direction would be a problem as well. A trolling motor would require some form of extended control arm in order to reach to one of the two front seats. Also, battery placement and running the power cables is a factor as well. I have owned the boat a year now along with a top of the line trolling motor and have really not come up with a way to make it work seamlessly. Recommend enjoying the boat and finding another way to get around electrically! All the best....J Hello Frank O,A trolling motor for this boat is problematic.

Could'nt tell you, because I used mine on a 16.5 ft bass boat. 48 inches works fine for me. Suggest you measure from about 6 inches below the water line to the top of the deck you are going to mount the trolling motor an add a few inches. Hope this helps.

This motor is ready to go out of the box with cables. You need a battery and that's it. I also bought a battery case to keep it dry. It should push your canoe fine.My little 12ft fishing boat flies thru the water.

If you're conecting it to a 12volt marine battery directly- you will need 10-12 size connections. The ones that come with motor are very small that will not fit over connections - you'll have to cut off the small ones and replace w/10-12 size. Also, with foot control you might want to buy a mount for pedal. It tends to move. I have both and prefer hand control 45 for that reason. Hope this helps

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 used mine for a 14" john boat with mud motor all my gear loaded in it. No problems. 75mph for 2 hours to my hunting spot.

I would think so, but I use a 12v/ 101 ah deep cycle and get a good 8 hours trolling at 2nd speed (depending on wind)...I like this motor far better than my old minkota. ..highly recommend. You can always pick up a bigger battery at wal-mart for around $65 :)

I am unable to reference your motor number so I do not know if this is correct or not. All these motors have the thru bolts in the same place, so if your motor mounts with the 4 motor thru bolts, this will work fine, assuming the HP and RPM's are correct.

I use minn kota 55 electric mother on this canoe. Must have a good motor mount. I tried Side saddle motor mount but it didn't work well. I noticed a ben on the side of the boat on full speed. Got a "hinged canoe motor mount" and it works well. Word of caution on this. you must locate and balance the battery well within the canoe. Sine canoe are not as stable as other open boats. I even have two sets of outrigger stabilizer on it. Good luck. If you want this canoe I'm selling mine with everything.
