On my tuffy I have an min- kota auto pilot 50lbs. It sucks up too much juice. Any advice on brands, lbs, and shafts? :-)


That is a 12volt motor, right? I think 50 is probably OK for power, but you need more time on the battery. You can accomplish this by running two batteries in parallel. This will nearly triple your run time, and save the expense of a new motor.
