Default Minn Kota model 85a trolling motor specs needed

I tried it out yesterday in a 14' boat with 3 people- it drove that
thing almost like a gas engine. WOW- plenty of power. All the trolling
motors I've used before seemed like real dogs compared to this. I'm
thinking this is about 40-42 lb. thrust at least, by how it drives.

It has 5 speeds and forward/reverse.


If you're looking for a bit more performance, look at Kipawa Props
(www.kipawapropellers.com). I put one on my 42EX and gained about 3/4 kt more
top speed on my 21' SeaPearl.
