Good point on vibration, Minn Kota needs test them better and QC, they used to be the best, hope they dont loose that sentiment from old loyal fans? I had an old 32 lb, beat it for years, never failed, I gave it to poor guy, was paddling, he loved it, he prob atill has it lol
@@Ibian666 I know how to divvy it up, but unfortunately I don't know the wattage or current draw on this motor, just that it runs on a 12v battery. From what I've heard it seems that trolling motors have about a 2 hour run time with a 100 amp-hour battery, meaning a current draw of 50 amps. But I was just curious about this motor specifically.
I have a 55lb bow mount. With a good size24 battery, I'm good for a full day of fishing. I think if you did multi day trips you'd need to charge it. It all depends on how fast you run it.
Would you say this rolling motor would be simple enough to install and uninstall often? I want to use one on the job boats I can rent instead of hauling the boat sometimes
Yes Dale, they do come with a shear pin. I did a conversion on mine changing the lock nut that holds on the prop with a kit that has a wing nut for easy shear pin changes out on the water. Switched mine after finding out the hard way.
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 thank you buddy, i will get a kit too, store in my tackle box, I bought a 12 foot Mastercraft Jon HDPE, my first plastic boat, came with a Traxxas Minn Kota 55 lb, im old now, dont want to lug heavy shit, and less maintenance to do, i bought a new 30 lb for the wife, up front, so she can try out steer me lol, long as I can out thrust her i win, hope it works out for us, the wieght factor, shallow draft sold me 👍, New sub, for responding to your peeps, TY again
So i just bought a Profishiency Micro Bumblebee 5.6ft medium light combo and so far after two trips I love this spinning combo. Because its an IM7, 5.6ft rod it feels like a light, not medium rod. I can still feel pan fish fights really well but I can land much larger fish like gar, catfish and bass. The reel isn’t amazing but it not bad at all. For $40 its a lot better than the Abu Garcia equivalents.
I’ve never tried those rods before but I have heard some good things. Yea $40 isn’t bad for that and being able to use it for many different types of fish is always a good thing. I’ve never had a medium light, or light rod but maybe in the future.
@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 I like fishing for larger fresh water fish but sometimes they don’t want to cooperate. So having a light to ultra light setup is key in not being skunked and still having a blast.
