Ted Williams trolling motor

[codus1348]

First post: I was given an old 12' Polarkraft jon boat. Another buddy gave me an old Ted Williams trolling motor. It has 10 speeds and seems to work correctly. I'd like to find out the amount of thrust this thing is rated at. I'm new to the boat game and have enjoyed getting all kinds of free old hand-me-down boat gear so far. I love fishing and am tired of shore fishing!! lol Any information is appreciated.

Not sure you are going to find a definitive anwser as those old trolling motors were rated diffrently. Many simply just said they were 12v while others would claim it made so many horsepower. My friend had an old "3hp" trolling motor that was no where near what it claimed amd was more like a 25 or 30lb thrust motor.

Good luck on your search! I'm thinking that there wasn't a rating for these,, I may be wrong.
