Subject: which type trolling motor.

I have the Minn Kota 50# thrust Power Drive, with a 48" shaft. I fish from the back of the boat with the 20'cable and low profile control which has been great. Get the next length longer shaft than the size you think you need so that big waves won't be a problem. Attach your motor to the boat with stainless steel nuts, bolts and lock washers. Nothing could be worse than a nut fall off and big waves hitting your boat (not from personal experience but rather observation) or rusting of your nuts and bolts.
