Thread: trollin motor switch out

Futhermore, I have it on good authority that you smell funny and your socks have holes in the toes.

Like Sac said, 12V with a good batt or even 2 batts rigged 24V is all mose anyone needs with a boat your size. As long as it'll pull you at a decent clip agains the wind, that's really all you need. However, there is no substitute for variable speed. Nothing like being able to creep wind the wind is not blowing or crank it up to match the wind speed and maintain the speed you want. Of course, the mfgs know this and that's why there's such a price jump between the 5 speeds and the variables.

I like the mounts on the MKs, but honestly, I've owned multiples of every brand and other than a bad plug connector, I've never had one break more than a prop. Even still, I enjoy pointing out that MG owners are low class mouth breathers.

The 12 vs 24 volt question is going to have to be answered by you: Are you happy with the umph you've got? If you're running out of juice, you could just get away with adding another battery for more capacity.

I have a minn kota power drive on a tracker pro team 17 , its 44lb thrust 12 v and does fine. Exsisting wire should hold up to a 55lb thrust. Can run 8 hours on med speed .And longer on low speed.If you get a minn kota get the retractable mount also.
