Trolling Motor Thrust Guide

Bass Boat Thrust recommendations

Fisherman with specially outfitted bass boats tend to choose large 70 to 100 lbs thrust motors. These larger motors can easily move heavier bass boats, and their 24 and 36 volt battery systems offer extended runtimes for all-day and tournament fishing.
