Just got an EMAIL from Jamestown Distributors describing their new
line of trolling motors. The "2.0" model is claimed to have 121 lbs
of static thrust which is comparable to a gas outboard in the 4 to 6
hp range. There is also a "4.0" with 215 lbs of thrust, equivalent
to something like 8 to 10 hp. Unfortunately they are not cheap as
you might imagine:

I had a Cobra Kayak that I thought it would be fun to put a 35# Minn Kota
on.

What was I thinking?

You could always try the "Redneck Trolling Motor" I once saw being
used for a canoe, a DeWalt cordless drill with a paint stirrer on a
long rod in the chuck. It seemed to work well.
