I recently came across a Minn Kota 756mx bow mount trolling motor. Seems to be in good shape. The only testing I did with it was to make sure the prop spun when hitting the pedal. I decided to test the steering once I have it mounted on the boat.
What I need an opinion on is I know it is only a 28lb thrust. I will be putting it on a 15 foot Tuffy tri hull (Fiberglass). How underpowered will it be? I usually fish small inland lakes that are approx 50 acres. However, I am hoping it might be good enough to use for boat control while drifting when river fishing. What are your thoughts based on your experiences? I am hoping it will get the job done even though it will be slower than a newer more power trolling motor.
If I had the cash I would buy a newer one, so lack of cash rules out that option.
Thanks,
Matt
