I have a 30 pound 1983 minn kota 585 what size boat should I get
this was a very helpful video thanks
Hi. I watched your UA-cam video on electric motors. I have a 15’x10’ Bris rubber boat; that weighs around 200lbs. And cargo totaling another 1500lbs. According to your formula, a 62lb. Motor should be able to push this boat thru the water. I’m only fishing at small State Park lakes that only allows electric boats. Do you think that will work? It’s double of what you recommended. Can you please get back to me with your opinion. Thanks
Great video
Hello. I am planning to get intel mariner 4. What kind of trolling motor do you recommend?
Sorry, but I have to call Bull Shit. I weigh 200 lbs. If what you say is true, the smallest motor I can use is a 100 lb thrust motor, and that's if I strap to my back so there would be no boat weight. Can't be correct.
200LBS he is saying you only need 4LBS thrust. I think. 2TH for every 100LBS My DLV max weight is 2665LBS So all I really need is 54LBS of thrust. 2 x 2600 = 54. At least I think that is what he is saying. I am not sure about 2lbs of thrust thou.
This man has no idea what he’s talking about. And how can a trust someone to inform me about boats when they can’t even pronounce bow? I would love to know what caused him to make an “informative” video about something he has no clue about when yt is full of professionals and knowledgeable people in this field 😭
You're calculating backwards. 2 lbs. thrust for every 100 lbs. of weight. That would be 4 lbs. for your body weight plus whatever else is in the boat, plus the boat itself. If the boat all weighted down comes out to 2000 lbs. that would be a 100 lb. thrust motor. I still think that's a lot for a lake, but in the ocean you'd probably want it.
@@sam-y8t I take back my Bull Shit remark. You are absolutely correct. I did get it backwards. Must have been one of my 3:00 am YT watching sessions. Now that I know that I'm the one one that doesn't know what he's talkin' about, I'm going to watch the rest of his video to see if I can LEARN something. LOL
Hello Erik, thanks for this very informative video! I'm wondering; is the thrust doubling when using two motors or is there some loss when doing so?
