I'll give it a try. Does anyone know of a formula to roughly
equate electric motors to horsepower? Would be curious as to the
horsepower equivalent of my Minn-Kota Endura 30. -J


The easiest way would be to find out much current the thing uses.

I*E=P, assume about 90% effeciency, so HP= (P*0.9)/746

If you want that in simpler terms HP= ((volts x amps)*0.9)/746
