I've said every year I'm getting one every since my cousins borrowed the boat for a lake trip and broke the trolling motor. Then I start looking at prices and bail.

I'm not having to go through the engine this year, so I should be able to spring for one.

What trolling motors yall got?

It's a 15 ft jon (worse way to spell jon ever) boat

This is best price on a new trolling motor with remote

I think.

The foot steering takes some getting used to.

THis is 12V, the 24V is only a little more, but you could pair this with a 100Ah lithium and be set.

https://www.amazon.com/Haswing-Electric-Lightweight-Freshwater-Saltwater/dp/B07V6CZJTL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1H6C9Q7XZWIO3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.a-IUJQJsdzEeZFoy4sCHUyoIcLsIieu_y2BWm-Ra3wu7Bb7JMBWfJAvbPCQZPyCncG5BICZKX2jF7Htehjemkeg2s6G6sZibCl8s8hMvRnEIYgPadmTOohaBzzgeYZ6fj65PJaAkclqudDzp0eIIc2wTQ_4YOmhEEoZkf_Cw_6sURNkwKI1Zzb6iFDXWr77iJq_uGNyjXDEr5av8TwNAngxzOk4sHwSQYxUYco0aab1hyaA3WVVBdTkjnunLm-uubE-3e8kZELtkQAj2GxN-jWOj5pxPTFoOo5Cd7tjtdPo.rsNHs4MTUwLDFlMCpsZho_5EIveUWuS0VAdyezyjS5Q&dib_tag=se&keywords=haswing&qid=1744047971&sprefix=haswing%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-1

Or you could go the used route for Minn Kota Edge or Maxxum $250 for 12V?

Right now have a deep cycle that is running everything. At one point we had a starter battery that only the motor was tied to then everything else went on the deep cycle

Let he who hasn’t had their cousins bust up their trolling motor while borrowing the Jon boat on a lake trip cast the first stone.

2025 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpgringofhonor-obed.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


But, the most important part to a trolling motor


Apr 7, 2025, 1:57 PM

Get a daggum lithium 12V battery for it.

They are cheap and sooooo much better than lead acid.

A 50Ah is good for a day of fishing from a smallish boat (17 ft or less).

A 100Ah would probably take you over 30 miles before dying.

Amazon - Ecoworthy $110

There are others that are cheaper with good reviews you could probably risk it for $90 on a 50Ah.

They do do cranking lithiums, but they are limited to certain engines and very pricey.

I've always considered you an excellent troll without even having a motor if that helps in your decision-making process at all.
