12V TROLLING MOTOR
When people are looking for electric boat motors they are usually hunting for a boat trolling motor.
What is an electric boat trolling motor?
A trolling motor is designed to propel a boat at around five miles per hour, these are generally not primary engines like an outboard motor which are very much more powerful and are gasoline powered.
Trolling motors are normally used by anglers which is where the name comes from, i.e. trolling a fishing lure, but they are equally useful as a secondary motor for maneuvering a larger craft at slow speeds in tight places.
Electric boat motors are available in three basic configurations, transom mounted, that is the rear of the boat, bow mounted, that is the front and engine mounted. Engine mounted electric motors are normally used where there is an existing outboard motor and the owner wants a smaller motor for fishing.
Electric boat motors are becoming more popular as the concerns regarding the environment are growing. Many lakes and rivers now have gasoline restrictions which mean that you can row your boat or sail it. Electric boat motors allow you to have some power.
What to look for in an electric boat motor.
The first consideration is where are you going to put it? If you transom is already full then a bow mounted motor is an option, if you already have an outboard then you may want to buy an engine mount as they can utilize existing control gear and look a lot neater.
The next thing to decide is how much power due you need? Trolling motors are mainly advertised on the basis of thrust, this is the force in pounds that the motor will deliver.
How much thrust you require is determined by the size of your boat. A larger craft will need more force to move it and by correctly sizing the electric boat motor you will ensure that it can do what you need it to without straining it or depleting the battery power unduly.
Most manufacturers websites or literature will give their recommendations for your particular boat but a rough rule of thumb is one pound of thrust for every forty pounds of load.
Minn Kota are a leading maker of boat trolling motors and when you hear anglers talking about motors you will not wait long for the name to come up. Minn Kota produce electric boat motors for a variety of applications and have saltwater and freshwater models as well as engine mounted and primary propulsion motors.
Whatever your boat trolling motor requirements Minn Kota probably have a solution for you.
