Shakespeare electric trolling motor?

[old motor]

About 20 years ago, my Dad gave me a "Shakespeare Wondertroll 52" electric trolling motor. It has one toggle switch for Off, Low, or High. It also has a label "6 or 12 volts". That's all I know about it. I have tried without success to find any specs for it; specifically the thrust rating.<br /><br />Does anyone have access to this info?<br /><br />Thanks in advance!

Caddo, thanks for the info on the thrust of that motor. I was guessing it was quite low, but I've never used any other electric to compare it to.<br /><br />I have used it on an 8' wooden dingy with just me aboard. Just curious, what kind of boat do you use with yours?<br /><br />I'll bet that speed control of yours could be fixed by an electrical appiance repair shop, or someone good at electronics. It could just be a faulty switch that needs replacing, but that's just an uneducated guess on my part.
