I got an 80lb 24v on mine and it is plenty. I can fish all day with a live well and a gps running and be good on power. 36v is nice but you gotta have that extra battery so you need more space to keep the batteries

24V, 80lb, 50-60 inch will work.

Yes, what they said! I just bought a 18' Blue Wave with a 90 and it has a 55lb thrust, i mean it does the job but i wish i had an 80 to do the job better

80lb 24 v and you will be able to fight the wind all day w/ no problem.
Plus, If you get a smart azz fishing buddy on the back deck just wait till he aint paying attention turn the speed to high turn the motor 90° and hit the on switch. Look it's super man. LOL |

I have the 1810. I use the mk 24v 80 lb. It's a beast. Long shaft so u don't have to be bent over all day.

Guess I need the long shaft so I dont have to bend over lol. So I'll be keeping my eyes open for a 24v 80lb and if I can't find a deal on one soon, Im just gonna get a new one.
Anyone have the remote control for the MK? Im just not sure if I want a hand tiller or remote. I have a foot control right now and I dont really care for it. |

i run a 36v motor guide on a 20 ft boat , it sounds like a bit of a overkill but trust me that extra 12v is sweet to have if you got some potlickers movin in on your drift or spot! plus it stays charged all day. i had min kota b4 and i hated it i broke the shaft twice. if you hit something with a motor guide shaft it will bend but at least you can fish the rest of the day
