Need advice on a transom-mounted trolling motor
I just bought a Tracker Grizzly welded 1448 14' jon boat with a long transom. It has a 9.9 hp outboard. But I'd like to buy a transom mounted electric troller for it for no-gas lakes.
The bare-boat weight is around 360lbs. I 'm about 300 lbs myself. Add a couple of small kids and normal gear and I'm sure it's pushing a 850 lbs or more.
Any recommendation on thrust I will need?
Should I go with a 12 volt or a 24 volt system?
Minn Kota or Motorguide?
Thanks.
