Need electric trolling motor...small, light, cheap

[scuro2]

Need an electric trolling motor and my preference would be as small as possible yet able to push a 12 ft tin boat around for 3-4 hours of trolling. Anyone name a good brand and model?

Duramax from Canadian Tire will do the trick @ 119.00$ 32lbs thrust and a 2 year warranty.. + a 24 or 27 series Deep Cycle battery and you'll be good to go.

got a 36lb thrust Motoguide motor and a brand new battery with it off Kijiji... $140.00

 

Pushes my 12 ft tinnie around with no problem for a couple of weekends on one charge

a 30 pound would do it, a 36 would be better. I use my 55 pound wireless on my 12 and you can waterski behind it lol

I'm picking up the new Motor Guide Vari Max 45lb's Thrust. It's awesome on power and will give you a awesome multi speed setting with even better use of power. Think there 3x better on power use then normal trolling motors.

 

Have a look,

Minn Kota Traxxis would be my preference they are a great motor.

Got a refurbished minnkota with a 2 year warranty from angling outfitters for $90. I am clueless about the battery...how do you recharge it? Are there some that are easier to charge?
