Need Some advice on trolling motor purchase
I dont know what size trolling motor I need to start with. I know that it is a function of the type and size of boat as well as what you want to do with it. Well its a new to me 22ft long Hurricane Fun Deck with 2 fishing chairs on the front deck. Its shallow draft try hull type boat.It is prewired for a bow mount motor but it only had a mounting plate on it when I got it. There are 2 batteries on board to run it but I dont know how they are wired. I suppose I could use them as 12 or 24 volt but dont know which would be better I am thinking probably the 24 volt would be better. I dont know if I want or need the auto pilot feature or just a foot control unit. I think I may get into some trolling but not sure just how I will use the unit yet as I just became a boat owner for the first time with this boat. Any advice would be appreciated since Im sure I am not thinking about all the things I should be considering here. You sure can spend a lot of money on some of these motors.
