How strong is a 30 lb thrust trolling motor?
Not my area of knowledge but this guide recommends a minimum of 2lb per 100lbs boat weight. So the maximum for a 30lb thrust motor would be 30*100/2= 1500lbs.

How fast is Minn Kota trolling motor?
The maximum speed of a trolling motor is 5 mph regardless of how many pounds of thrust. The 55# thrust MinnKota Endura with all the new electronic gadgetry is overkill. Save your money! Pick up a MinnKota 30# Endura at half the price of the larger thrust trolling motors.27-Jan-2014
Will a higher thrust trolling motor go faster?
Thrust is simply a static measurement of pushing or pulling power, and higher thrust does not necessarily mean greater speed. Speed is a factor of prop pitch and motor R.P.M. Given motor R.P.M. under load, and Minn Kota's 4" prop pitch, the approximate speed that a motor will push/pull a small boat can be calculated.
What is the strongest trolling motor?
Minn Kota has introduced the most powerful trolling motor on the market featuring 112 pounds of thrust.06-Mar-2014
How long will a deep cycle battery run a trolling motor?
In more technical terms, a 100 amp hour rated battery can deliver 100 amp hours of current to a trolling motor. So if a motor was running at low speed and pulling 4 amps, the battery should last around 25 hours. (100 amp hour rating / 4 amps = 25 hours).
Can you make a trolling motor faster?
Replace the Existing Motor Look out for one which has a higher power output and if possible, of larger size and larger pitch propeller. The new motor will definitely boost the power and the performance of the canoe on the whole.18-May-2021

What lb thrust trolling motor do I need?
General rule of thumb: you need at least 2 lbs. of thrust for every 100 lbs. of fully-loaded boat weight (people and gear included). If things like wind or current are major factors where you fish, you'll want a little extra thrust.
How fast will a lb thrust trolling motor go?
Assuming perfect riding conditions, the use of the best fuel i.e. the distillate marine diesel, and moderate load, 55-pound trolling motors are likely to attain a maximum speed of only 5 miles per hour. This would take around two hours for the deep cycle battery charge to get completely depleted.19-Oct-2021
