trolling motor vs trolling plate?

[SkunkedAgain]

I would add to the electric motor suggestion, that you need to have the battery capacity or else you will be disappointed with them... If you don't have a good battery or batteries your electric motor won't carry you very long... Just keep that in mind when considering them... Run time can be calculated roughly by taking the battery amp-hour rating and dividing it by the motor amp draw at the speed you will be running it... On my boat I had to run my small electric at full power to hit 1.1 mph trolling speed which put a high amp power draw and gave me about an hour run time... Now on a light boat like my pontoon, I get 5 to 6 hours off a battery.... Just something to consider while making that choice... Good luck.. J
