What size troller should I use?

[Fudoshin]

I have a 17' 1974 lund, never used a bow mounted troller and never had a boat this big, what is a good size troller I should use for this boat? What is the min. thrust lb? Thanks for the help!

50 - 55# minimum. Thats the biggest 12 volt motor available.

Silvertip is correct, and an 50-55# should do fine. Just remember to run a seperate battery for it. A 27 or 31, with highest revserve cap as possible. Farm or Fleet farm, have good large rev cap deep cycle batterys, very reasonable price.
