Helpful Tips: Choosing the right trolling motor for you
MotorGuide offers trolling motors for a wide range of fishermen, boats and fishing styles. Learn about some of the most essential factors to consider when choosing a trolling motor such as power, shaft length, and steering.
Pound Thrust
Power is a specific metric that you require for a trolling motor. A general guideline to determine the right pound thrust is 2 lbs. thrust for every 100 lbs. of total weight (boat, fuel, occupants, gear, etc.). Also, if you frequently fish in strong currents or windy conditions, add 10 lbs. thrust.
Shaft Length
The trolling motor's shaft length is a specific measurement that varies across boats. Measure from the top of the bow where the motor is mounted to the waterline. Then add 20 inches to this measurement. Your ideal shaft length should be at least as long as the combined sum.
Steering
The final factor that can influence your trolling motor of choice is the steering type. Options include hand-operated, foot-controlled cable steer, and electric steer.
