Re: trolling motor
Bruce, I have a 18ft four winns that came with a 40# thrust minn kota that was just not enough power for me. In calm waters and no wind conditions it was fine. I upgraded to a 55# thrust MK and it works a lot better. I doubt you would be happy with a 40 # motor on your boat. Make sure you get one with a shaft that is long enough. My biggest compliant with the orginal motor was when I put one of my 200# plus fishing buddies in the back of the boat the TM prop was almost out of the water, waves caused problems too. To make a long story short over 50# of thrust and 54 inch shaft. Good luck<br />Kevin
