Amazing powerThis motor moves my 16 ft boat over 5 mph on the Reservoirs and very easy on batteries this is money well spent going to buy another
I have a 17 foot sail boat. Will this work with my sailboat to get me into and out of the marina? my boat weighs about 450 pounds.
Asked by: tommygoldberg
Bigger is almost always better. Larger boats need more juice, but we recommend you consider wave action, wind and current when choosing a trolling motor. Erring on the stronger side has its benefits because stronger motors run more efficiently at lower speeds and provide a safety cushion for handling wind, waves and current. We recommend 5lb. of thrust for every 200lb. of a vessel’s gross weight.
Thrust
Trolling motors are rated in pounds of thrust. As a rule of thumb 72 to 75lb. of thrust roughly equals one horsepower or 746W of electrical power. A typical 12V motor that draws 60A consumes approximately 720W. The equation for power is easy: the higher the voltage, the higher the thrust. Trolling motors are offered in 12V, 12/24V, 24V and 36V versions, with the most powerful ones offering more than 100lb. of thrust, powerful enough to move heavy vessels such as pontoon boats. Maximum thrusts at different voltages are approximately 12V/55lb. and 24V/80lb.

What is the difference between R3 and R5 55 trolling motors
Asked by: auggie72
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. The R5 motors are available in higher thrust models than the R3 units. Some R3 models have digital variable speed control and others have 5/2 speed control. All of the R5 units available at this time have digital variable speed control.

we just bought a 19' Triumph is a 42" shaft on a trolling motor long enough???
Asked by: Rosanna
The standard shaft length is 42". To determine the right length for your boat, measure the distance from where the shaft is mounted on the deck or the transom to the water. Then add 16" (for MotorGuide) or 20" (for Minn Kota) and select the next closest measurement. We recommend longer shafts for operation in rough water so the prop stays about 6" below the surface when the boat pitches and rolls. Fine-tune the motor’s vertical position with the adjustment on the mount.
