[#0000FF]Almost any motor from 20# thrust on up will work. You don't need more than 30#. But I ended up getting the MinnKota Endura 40# mostly because it had a 36 inch shaft, rather than the 30. Your need will reflect how you have it mounted, how tall you are and how you plan to operate it...by reaching around or with an extension handle.
This picture shows the 30 and the 40...with the differences in shaft length. If I am being honest I think I had just as much power...and better battery life...with the smaller motor. But I needed the extra shaft length.
