I just bought myself a two man pontoon boat for fishing in the small lakes where it is not practical to trailer. The boat is 10' long and weighs about 90 pounds fully rigged.
I'm planning to add an electric trolling motor but have no experiece with electrics. Any advice is appreciated.
They come in ratings from 30 lb to 110 lb thrust. Since the boat is very small and light I'm guessing that 30 lb be enough . Is 30 lb enough to handle a light headwind? Which is better - bow mount or transom mount ? (I can set it up either way). Are the foot pedal controls worth getting and do they work trouble free?
Nothing beats experiece, so I appreciate any thoughts and comments.
Thanks,
Bob
