I got a 16ft ALuminum boat last fall with a 18hp Outboard motor on it. It works pretty well and gets me, my wife, and daughter around the lake with pretty good speed. We trolled with the 18hp motor last year and although we did ok and caught fish I felt we were going a bit too fast. I was wondering if a Electric Trolling motor would work well with my boat set up. How long do the batteries last on a electronic motor and what thrust should I be looking at? We don't troll alot of heavy popgear set ups mostley spoons and needlefish on light rods.
