I just bought a 1648 jon boat and want a good transom mount trolling motor. I'm more than likely going with a minn kota. I want at least a 45lb thrust. What I want to know is what trolling motor has the strongest mounting bracket that fits really tight down on the transom? I am going to be in rough water sometimes and I need a strong bracketed trolling motor. I was looking at the traxxas series or endura series. It doesn't really matter to me as long as the motor stays in place when I'm cruising in rough water.
Any suggestions? Oh I'm just using a tiller model to,no foot pedal. I just want to know it won't pop off the transom and I can tighten it down without breaking the mount. Thanks for any help,also to on what's the best battery to use. I'm staying with 12 volt max so 55lb thrust is my limit.
