[QUOTE="airshot, post: 490220, member: 1183"] Just another question about my recent purchase, the boat is a 16' Sylvan side console and has a Minn Kota 55lb thrust bow mount power drive. Previous owner claims up to 6 hrs trolling time with dual group 31 batteries. Thinking about using this for trolling for walleyes rather than adding a kicker motor. Estimated boat weight around a 1000 pounds, what kind of trolling speed should I expect from this motor??? Will need 2 plus mph typically, even up to 3 mph on ocassion to catch fish....is this doable?? Never actually trolled with a bow mount before, so trying to learn what to expect, thanks in advance for any insite you can give......... [/QUOTE]
