Trolling motor question

[keakar]

I would go with the 50-55 lbs thrust. it uses one 12v battery and has the power you need for salt water.

30-35 lb is ok in fresh water but you need more for saltwater tides and winds.

also go with the fresh water motor and it saves you an average of $100, you just have to rinse it off well after you go and occasionally spray a little wd40 on it to prevent corrosion. I had em on my 14 & 15ft flatboats for 20 years and mainly fish saltwater without any issues, less then 50 lbs thrust is not enough for saltwater
