Electric trolling motor help/advice

[Dr W]

I am looking to put a bow mounted trolling motor on my Welcraft 210DC 

I have never used one or have any experience with them so any advice is helpful 

 

I am willing to go to a 24 volt  with as mush thrust as possible

What info are you looking for, and what will you be using it for..... I just use mine for autopilot and anchor. Also you might want to look at a 36v 112lb thrust for a 21ft fiberglass boat. My 80lb thrust struggles some days and i have a 19 ft aluminum.

I think you are going to want to re-think the whole idea.  I have a 20 ft Pursuit so similar to the DC in terms of weight, does not have an electric on it but I have had an electric on lighter boats, like the one mentioned above.   I think you will be spending a lot of money and not achieve a minimum of performance.
