I'm thinking of picking up an electric trolling motor for my canoe, and was wondering what anyone has to say about necessary thrust and shaft length.
I know more power is always better, but I was thinking 36-40lbs would be fine. I do not have a square stern, but I have a transom mount attachment.
Also, I'm kind of a Minnkota guy, but in this case I'm looking for the lowest priced, least fancy unit. Do motorguide products generally run at a lower price point for the same basic features? If not, I'll probably go with Minnkota.
Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday.
What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures.
Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
