Sailing is peaceful and safe. This trolling motor is almost completely quiet and does not release contaminants. More and more areas only allow boats with electric motors, therefore an electric engine is the best option. This quiet trolling motor has a thrust of 46 lbs and a shaft length of 91.4 cm. It can be easily attached to the boat and connected to a battery (not included). We recommend a 12V/80A (gel or car battery), which will be suitable for 3-4 hours of trolling. The motor features battery indicator lights, so you are able to see when your battery is about to die. The motor can be rotated 360° and has 8 different speeds of which 3 are reverse. To prevent problems in shallow water, it is possible to fold the motor. The steering handle is also adjustable. Note: To maintain the capacity of the battery and prevent damage, it is important to recharge the battery before it is completely depleted.
