Electric trolling motors can be categorized by voltage, thrust, mounting styles, and control systems. Here is a snapshot of what you need to know: At a glance: 1️⃣ Electric trolling motors come in 12, 24, or 36-volt options, with higher voltages offering more power and longer battery life. 2️⃣ Thrust options range from low (up…
In electric trolling motors, volts represent “electrical pressure” that pushes the flow of electrons through the motor’s circuitry. Higher voltage typically results in more thrust. Choosing the correct voltage for your trolling motor depends on thrust and boat weight considerations. Trolling motors are found in these voltage denominations: 12 Volt, 12/24 Volt, 24 Volt, and…
![What Size Battery Do I Need For An Electric Trolling Motor? [Expert Guide]](https://kiteship.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/what-size-battery-do-i-need-for-an-electric-trolling-motor-768x480.jpg)
Battery capacity (Ah) = (Motor power in lb thrust * 26.4 * Desired runtime in hours * Efficiency factor) / Battery voltage. This formula is specifically designed for trolling motors, where power is often given in terms of lbs of thrust. The number 26.4 is used to convert lbs of thrust to watts (a measure…
The Garmin Force Trolling Motor is generally accepted as being a superior device. For example, it can reach 3.8 mph on the water, as opposed to the Lowrance Ghost, which can only reach 3.25 mph. It is the quietest model available while still being much bigger than a Minn Kota Ultrex. And tied in with…
