Reply To: Windage!!

Looked at that option, I wasn’t sure if a 0.8HP motor would be powerful enough, might be??? The other problem is shaft length off the bow for a bow the standard sizes for the 12v motors are way to short for the HT, not sure if the longest size 5’ will do the job either.

The total for the project is around $1300 (USD) which is close to the price of the more powerful 36v motors without all the other bits and bobs needed + setting up a 36v system i.e. much cheaper than 1 101lb 36v motor.

Transom mount 55lb maxim (digital) trolling motors x 2 $700
Waterproof Plugs & 6AWG extensions $100
wire, connectors, fuses etc. $200
5’ shafts $210
Star-board (plastic plywood) $15
Bolts etc. $10

The parts arrived, so I will be testing this weekend after I’ve finished the install.
