Location: Hayward, WI | What boat will you be using this for? That can make a difference in thrust necessary and shaft length (though I'm not too familiar with transom mount shaft lengths).
If the boat allows easy enough installation, have you considered a bow mount trolling motor? If you'll be using the boat for casting for muskies or most any fish while you work a weedline or other structure, a bow mount motor usually makes pulling the boat forward from the front easier than pushing it forward from the back. Transom mount trolling motors are usually used for pulling the boat in reverse and hovering over spots. More often used in slow walleye applications, though I can see where one would have a time and place while musky fishing.
Also, foot controlled bow mounts keep your hands free to fish if you plan to cast a lot.
Just something to consider. |
