It is really small -- an older Minnkota 24. But the price was right - free.
I will eventually up grade -- when I can justify it. Putting the mount where I did really stretches the shaft length. I am not sure how the shaft lengths are measure, but this one has 24 inches from the top of the mount to the middle of the prop. It is just enough.
Still it pulls me around just fine. When the wind came up I used it on the lowest speed to send me back up the lake a ways so I could wind drift back through the area I wanted. It was a very nice luxury!
The Renegade moves so easy through the water that I had no problem with just kicking or rowing either. I am really impressed with it. Wind was probably 7-10 with gusts to 15 in the afternoon --- annoying!
