Need advice on trolling motor

Just got my son and I a 1232 tracker Jon boat. Does Walmart sell a trolling motor good enough for this boat? I knew to using boats, we had been bank fishing. We’ll be fishing small lakes. Thanks

Yes, they sell a couple of different sizes in thrust. Where and how are you going to be using the boat and how far do you expect to travel.

Mostly on Chenoa Lake which is about 35 acres.

I would think a 35 pound thrust or 40 would be plenty with a group 27 deep cycle battery. Should run you around all day with out any problems.

Thanks a lot for the info. I appreciate it

What Cray said. They work better from the front but that’s for further along.

I bought my deep cycle 27 from Wal Mart, it does fine.

I got one from Walmart and it seems to work well. Runs trolling motor and fish finder.

I have the same 1232 Topper using a Grp-31 battery, MK trolling Motor 55# thrust variable speed mounted to the front and homemade rudder on the back; Dad ran it with a 35# TM and a 27 series battery they're great for small lakes!

Thanks for the info. We ended up getting a Minnkota 30 thrust. Works good for my son and I. We have it mounted in the rear.
