Location: Chicago, Beverly | Shaft length is determined on how high your bow of the boat sits out of the water. 60" on a 16' Fishhawk is quite long. Not positive here, but I would think your Fishhawk does not sit much higher in the water then my Tuffy rampage. I have a 52" all terrain minn kota on that, more then I need, almost think I coulda went with maybe 48" but bought it used.. If you fish rough water with 2-3' waves, 52" would be good. As for size, get the biggest you can afford. Most 12v motors top out at 55lbs. I would not go less then 55. If you have room for the batteries, defintely go 24, almost any size in 24 will be good for that rig. I pull my batteries to charge them so do not know a lot about onboards, but go with a onboard that will send 10amp to each battery and can charge 3 at a time.. might be like a 3 bank 30 amp or something like that.. |
