New trolling motor technology.

[Cane Pole]

Not really new technology. It is just not available from Motorguide or Minn Kota. The brushless motors are far superior operating and far more efficient than a brushed motor.

I used brushless motors in my models. By far less troublesome than the brushed models.

I am sure someone in China makes a brushless motor type trolling motor. Wonder why Motorguide or Minn Kota haven't advanced into this technology.

I've often wondered that too as brushless motors have been around for a long time. Maybe not enough torque? (just a guess)

Probably cost to convert. My small brushless motors have more torque than my brushed motors (same physical size). Brushless more expensive though.
