Trolling Motor on 25 ft boat
 
I am a new member and looking forward to learning more from other posters.

Does anyone have any expirence mounting a trolling motor to the bow of the larger CC boat?

I have a 25 ft sea cat with twin 140 4 strokes. I am wanting to mount a trolling motor to the front of the boat. I kow I need a 60 inch shaft and have to get a 36v to have more run time. Will a 109 lbs thrust move a 25 ft cat around. It only drafts about 14 inches or so, but weights around 5000 + lbs. Just wondering what my options are and if I can make something work.

TIA.
