@Wade Braden i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great video sir and I just pursued a 14ft aluminum vhaul and finally found a 25hp merc. I also just bought 4 kayaks for my 3 kids and I. I bought the 55lb thrust endura from cabales for the 14ft, but getting ready to rig up a mount for my kayak because dad isn't as good as I once was with paddling lol.
Good video and information...you are the only one that did it in rev.. Also thanks for the information on that fish finder. Thank you. Maxx Lake George,NY
Thanks for the video. I really do appreciate it. Read a bunch of reviews for this motor and was having a difficult time deciding. I have the same size boat as you. This motor looks perfect! Thanks for the quick review on the fish finder, too! I have the Garmin like yours. It's eh/ok. I use it for the same things you do.
I see that this video is quite a few years old, but if you are still out there, what kind of battery did you use with this motor? Thank you! I enjoyed your video.
I got same one and had it mounted on the rear side of a all aluminum canoe. At 5 it literally made the front end of my canoe raise up and man I was moving pretty quick , it was real pleasant surprise. Thing runs so quietly fish don't get spooked at all and I actually killed a fish as it swam into the motor blades.
I found one of these that was being put out to the trash . They are not hard to fix and parts are cheap . The one I have needs a new switch but still works on 3 out of 5 speeds . Switch will be coming some day . Only about $20 give or take . Thank you !
I run mine on a 23 foot fiberglass boat with a Alten brand 12 volt generator. It's a great backup to get me home when the big V8 breaks down and it has enough power to troll on the 4000 pound boat, even though they will tell you to go to 24 volts on a boat over 19 feet.
Good vid! I was thinking on the camo version of this same motor (Minn Kota Endura 55 Camo 36" shaft) for my 12ft Smokercraft duck boat and I think that's going to be the one. Wanted to see how fast this will move a boat through the water and it looks like that will not be a problem at all. :)
If it’s your only motor I wouldn’t go any smaller. I have a 13’ Alaskan. The 30lb is fine because I have a 15hp Evinrude as well. If I didn’t have the gas motor I would go as big a trolling motor as I could afford. Any decent wind you’re going to want more oomph. I’d 45 lb is absolute min.
thanks for video.i bet on the 55 endura being a great trolling motor.bought one today. have not tried it yet.it is going to be a emergency motor mainly but didnt get the great deal you did.$300 with $25 rebate
Great video! I just bought one myself, 12v 50lb thrust 42" shaft, for my 12' jon boat. I'm going to try it on my 18' bass buggy pontoon as well, since it's kind of a pain to use the 40HP to creep up to the shore. I do have to mount it to the bow on the pontoon, though.
I'm thinking of putting this on my 17 ft Proline boat. A lot cheaper than a 70 hp outboard. All I need to do is get about 1 mile from the ramps to my spots. Hopefully it will work with a good battery.
I have an Endura 55 and Endura Max . I had just broken off a tab on the transom mount. I think it's because of the way I've been trailering it. I usually tilt it back . I cant get it completely horizontal because of my seat situation. My question is. Should I bring it up as far as I can and leave it perpendicular to the boat on my trailer to avoid the stress on the tabs caused by the trailer bouncing? Too much of a hassle to dismount the motor all the time.
Two years later this motor is going strong ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
Just want to thank you for making this video. I got my c2 Endura 55lb, but don't see any video that hook on v-hull boat. Can't wait to try my new motor. What type of Ah does this battery required? and which group?
wow that is a big heavy boat i am worried as i have a inflatable 3 person but i think this would be more than enough as your getting some good power for what u have which is a tank in the water ;P from what i see thank you for the video
Bought for use trolling with my 16ft Bayliner moved the boat fine until i decided to put up on bow reached the water just enough to keep moving in calm water
Ive got the endura max 55lb on my Gheenoe 15'4 fiberglass boat. its great. Im hooking up a solar charger to it also. Five shoulder surgeries and paddling do not go together. Saving up for a Merc 15hp. itll go 36mph.
+JS G I am getting a 100 watt solar panel from Amazon.com for about 140 dollars .. you need a solar regulator they have them for as low as 20 dollars..
Trying to fish on the cheap here, got my first boat... a 15.5ft Fiberglass boat, now I need a trolling motor... Was wondering if a 55lb motor would move it... from the sounds of it, it should.
I got a 14 ft vhull with a 15 shaft on my regular motor. But my trolling motor is bout whooped it's a mercury 12 thruster what length shaft would you recommend for a new TM
Robert Cress I’m trying to decide wether to go bigger than a 30lber for my 14ft canoe, I needed to this this question and especially this reply, thanks Robert!
Fyi my 14x36 jon with 2 200 lb people on it plus about 175 lbs of gear will hit 4mph on the GPS with no wind with a 40 lb minn kota and weedless wedge prop.
Tyson Grugal it might work but I been doing a lot of looking for a 65 pound thrust trolling motor I have a minn Kota trolling motor on my 12 foot jon boat and it’s a foot control I don’t like it
C2 has not battery meter on the head unit, and it's also fix to gear levels. Forward 1-5, reverse 1-3. This one is variable throttle, just means more smoother gear level like a car kind of, it's not fix gear level like C2. I have been debating between the 2. I like Endura Max more...
I just bought a 38lb thrust min kota for my 12 foot aluminum boat.. felt pretty good but do you guys think it's too small of thrust for the size of my boat?
Anything is better than paddling! Just make sure you wave when you pass them!! Ha. I have about the same setup 13'foot aluminium 36lb thrust. Works great. Going to mount it on my canoe this year too!
Montell Williams I have a 14 ft alumacraft and I load it down hardly uses battery at all also , will push it with ease in saltwater also. Go for it you will not be disappointed!
*This makes my old motor look like a toy **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it's well built. I haven't had it on the water yet, but I'm very sure it will perform just fine.*
Pure gold right here need more UA-cam videos like these now adays 👍🏼
thank you man I appreciate guys like you that put videos for people like me that the minor things really are important

thanks for the video! i was between a 55 lb and a 30 lb thrust for my fishing boat. now i know 55lbs will do just right!
Thanks again
This was exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
Thank you for this!
I've just ordered one of these after watching the video. Thank for sharing your experience.
For my 14ft. Alum fish boat with 7/12 horse outboard.
Exactly the video I was looking for!
Great video sir and I just pursued a 14ft aluminum vhaul and finally found a 25hp merc. I also just bought 4 kayaks for my 3 kids and I. I bought the 55lb thrust endura from cabales for the 14ft, but getting ready to rig up a mount for my kayak because dad isn't as good as I once was with paddling lol.
Wow that's awesome I just got mine, glad to see how good it work's.
I have a 55lb Minn Kota V2 Power Drive on a 14 ft. Lowe 14 wide and it works great!!
What battery do you use?
I ran twin 55 minkotas, with 6 walmart batteries, and it cruised on a 16 foot aluminum starcraft. Good Demo.
Dang, that thing moves pretty good!
Good video and information...you are the only one that did it in rev..
Also thanks for the information on that fish finder.
Thank you.

Thanks for the video, answers my questions
Should be picking this up for my 12 ft v-hull tomorrow. Might seem a bit more than I need but it’s my only motor for now.
If it’s your only motor I wouldn’t go any smaller. I have a 13’ Alaskan. The 30lb is fine because I have a 15hp Evinrude as well. If I didn’t have the gas motor I would go as big a trolling motor as I could afford. Any decent wind you’re going to want more oomph. I’d 45 lb is absolute min.

Thanks man
How long can you stay or go out on the lake before the battery gets low ?
What size is your battery ?
Great video! I just bought one myself, 12v 50lb thrust 42" shaft, for my 12' jon boat. I'm going to try it on my 18' bass buggy pontoon as well, since it's kind of a pain to use the 40HP to creep up to the shore. I do have to mount it to the bow on the pontoon, though.
Did it work?
Great Review! Is this good for a 12ft aluminum jon boat?
I'm thinking of putting this on my 17 ft Proline boat. A lot cheaper than a 70 hp outboard. All I need to do is get about 1 mile from the ramps to my spots. Hopefully it will work with a good battery.
Stealth fishing! (No smell no sound). The way to go I say! I'm in the same boat lol
I'm propelling my 53ft long 10tonne steel narrowboat with 2 x 100lbs 24v trolling motors powered by 4x 100amh cranking batteries !
We want to put troilers on our 14ft tri haul & dump our headache of the gas outboard motor & also do solar thanks for sharing...!
Thanks for the vid...sure kicks in on 5 hey..I’ve got a 12 ft aluminum looking to upgrade from a older minn Kota endura 36lbs atleast to a 45lb.

What type of Ah does this battery required? and which group?
What battery are you running with that motor?
Muito bem espricado
Now just rig a light weight canopy to hold some solar panels to keep your battery charged and your good to go all day or more!
Thank you. Useful
wow that is a big heavy boat i am worried as i have a inflatable 3 person but i think this would be more than enough as your getting some good power for what u have which is a tank in the water ;P from what i see thank you for the video
Thanks
Very helpful video sir
Bought for use trolling with my 16ft Bayliner moved the boat fine until i decided to put up on bow reached the water just enough to keep moving in calm water
SLOW NO WAKE FELLA!!!!
Question: How much bigger is this compared to the 30lbs thrust model? I have limited space.
Carol Chennning not much
Ive got the endura max 55lb on my Gheenoe 15'4 fiberglass boat. its great. Im hooking up a solar charger to it also. Five shoulder surgeries and paddling do not go together. Saving up for a Merc 15hp. itll go 36mph.
***** where you find a solar charger?
+JS G I am getting a 100 watt solar panel from Amazon.com for about 140 dollars .. you need a solar regulator they have them for as low as 20 dollars..
that is awesome. and it sounds like freedom.
Trying to fish on the cheap here, got my first boat... a 15.5ft Fiberglass boat, now I need a trolling motor... Was wondering if a 55lb motor would move it... from the sounds of it, it should.
No it won’t
Think I would put it a bit deaper in the water. Looks like good power though
What kind of battery are you using?? I have same boat and motor don't know what battery to get
Which battery would you recommend? Thanks
Mine sounds a lot louder and rougher in reverse. Am I hearing that on yours as well? Just seems louder but not rougher tho.
Dual 55 would be perfect for a boat that size. The motors would run less and would be cooler.
How much battery will it chew through after a morning on the lake?
if you go to minn kota web page FAQ they show speed vs energy used in a chart
i couldnt even see how fast the boat was going, How fast was the boat going at full speed of the trolling motor
How is this motor doing now?
I'm about to get a motor for my 1636 jon-boat, and am looking hard at this one.
How is the motor doing?
Can you share the battery information ? Or what kind of battery are you using.
Where in PA are you? I'm I. The Poconos. Plenty of lakes by me
I got a 14 ft vhull with a 15 shaft on my regular motor. But my trolling motor is bout whooped it's a mercury 12 thruster what length shaft would you recommend for a new TM
what part of PA do you reside? I lived in Clearfield for 3 years.
Was curious between the 50 and 55 pound thrust if there is any difference in speed?
If you put the motor more under the water you can go more fast
what do you think of that motor for a 16 foot fiberglass canoe ?
PhillyFishing215 I go around in circles on my canoe. Mine is 15 foot, I can't control it
Robert Cress I’m trying to decide wether to go bigger than a 30lber for my 14ft canoe, I needed to this this question and especially this reply, thanks Robert!
Dang I'm mounting a 55lb thrust on my kayak soon I feel like it will be over kill
I’m thinking a 55lb thrust on my 10f kayak looks too much but still gonna put it on lol
55lb on a kayak is gonna do like 20 mph is my guess hah but I was thinking of trying it with mine also
Fyi my 14x36 jon with 2 200 lb people on it plus about 175 lbs of gear will hit 4mph on the GPS with no wind with a 40 lb minn kota and weedless wedge prop.
How does it do going upstream in fast moving water?
I've had a he'll of a time trying to run mine. The ceramt keeps forcing me around in circles
Need weight in thefront
how long can you operated on a single battery how many hour is it good for
hows the battery life on that?
where can you put a boat in blue lake cant find any place on the satellite map
good video sir :D
Which batterie are you using ？
Everyone uses whatever we have just some are better n safer when you need the extra power it can save u
Hey man can I water-skiing off your wake?..lol
I,d love to cut that down and make an inboard stich and glue kayak!
Would it work on a 16 foot fiberglass boat
Jacob Eisenmann most likely my boat is roughly 13 feet and it flys across the waster
i use my 30 lb minn kota c2 on my 14 ft tri hull pushed us at 12 km an hour ua-cam.com/video/ZEJE74kfpHs/v-deo.html
why shaft is soooo long on minn kota's.. like if it was to use in a standing position only.
I have a 40lb motor and I want to take it duck hunting with my 14ft aluminum boat, you think that will do the job????
👍
Can trolling motors ride in sea??? (No lake)
Do you guys think that a 65 Pound thrust trolling motor will work well on my 11 foot jon boat?
Tyson Grugal it might work but I been doing a lot of looking for a 65 pound thrust trolling motor I have a minn Kota trolling motor on my 12 foot jon boat and it’s a foot control I don’t like it
Can you tell me the difference between the classic and the Endura C2 ? Thank you
C2 has not battery meter on the head unit, and it's also fix to gear levels. Forward 1-5, reverse 1-3. This one is variable throttle, just means more smoother gear level like a car kind of, it's not fix gear level like C2. I have been debating between the 2. I like Endura Max more...
get the traxxis
look it up
I just bought a 38lb thrust min kota for my 12 foot aluminum boat.. felt pretty good but do you guys think it's too small of thrust for the size of my boat?
Anything is better than paddling! Just make sure you wave when you pass them!! Ha. I have about the same setup 13'foot aluminium 36lb thrust. Works great. Going to mount it on my canoe this year too!
Rule of thumb:2 lbs of thrust for every 100 lbs i am puting one a a kayak so 3 lb motor??? Idk i think thats for bigger boats
Do you need a license for that setup?
I bet two motors and you could ski behind you boat, lol.
What size is the shift? 36" or 42"?
He said it was the 36"
4:09 lol!!!
amazon $138 11/15/19
I know that place sweet I'm from wb
i want to put that on my mariner 4
buy a Kayak and mount it on works great .
I have one. These motors suck WAY to much juice out of your battery. And not anymore speed,just torque. And not really a lot of it.
get a garmin they are legit
It is time for me to get rid of the noisy, smelly and dirty gas engine!
can I get some great speed with my 16 foot alumacraft boat ? anyone ?
Montell Williams
I have a 14 ft alumacraft and I load it down hardly uses battery at all also , will push it with ease in saltwater also. Go for it you will not be disappointed!
Shaft*
do you need a license on a rubber boat?
no
depends on the state in which you live!
boat fun what about in ny?
Just test it and stop talking
What kind of battery are you running it on?
