[QUOTE="Macrosill, post: 428301, member: 11079"] When I got the boat I picked up a 9.9 outboard for gas lakes. The boat came with a transom mount trolling motor. It is an old unit. A Minn Kota Model 4hp, 24v. No idea about any other specs, not even what size breaker I would need. I can not find much info about it online. It seems it was sold at Sears in the 80's. No manual available and Minn Kota does not have any available info either. I tried calling them directly. I am toying with the idea of using the trolling motor as is on electric only lakes until it gives up the ghost or replace it with a new 55 or more thrust unit. Cost is the bigget factor as the larger electric units are upwards of 500 bucks and I will be putting all my spare change into the mod as is. The batteries will be in the bow to offset the weight when I am alone in the stern. The bow rides really high with me and the batteries in the stern. I tried that once! LOL Thoughts? Suggestions?
