Re: What size trolling motor

I think your asking if a electric trolling motor would work for you,inplace of a 10hp?
The answer is no.
Know electric trolling motor will come close to the 10hp outboard.If your 10hp(if you have one)breaks down, an electric may get you back to the dock but that depends on battery life and how far you have to go,among other things.
A 55 lbs trolling motor on the transom of that boat,wouldn't be fun to move around...IMO
