Hi all,

I am new to this forum. Looks like some great info though.

I have a Lowe 160 1992 year boat that came with an Evinrude Trolling motor on it. It is a 12volt only model and have no idea how many LBS of thrust it is. Anybody got any ideas on how to figure it out. I have the model and serial number if that would help.

Thanks,
Randy

We can't see the motor so yes, the model and serial number would be the only way someone could identify it.

Can't find the thrust for that motor but it is listed as a 1990 model.

Can't find that info anywhere either but thanks for the help.:cool:

Anyone else wanna take a shot or have any other good ways to figure it out. I am open to about anything at this point but don't know what to try.

Is there some special reason you need to know? If it's a 1990 model I'm going to guess no more than 36# thrust.

Yeah my reason is that I have a almost new Minn Kota that a guy gave me cause he don't have a boat anymore. It has a lot of nice features including a much more friendly to operate foot controller. However it is only 33# thrust. All be it a nice motor I would never put it one if it is gonna cost me thrust cause I fish on rivers 90% of the time and barely have enough as it is. However if it is smaller than I would put this one on for sure. Just tough to make a decission when you don't know what the one your running is.

Thanks again.
