Default trolling motor

I have a 15 foot tri-hull fiberglass boat with an 80 hp motor. What size
trolling motor can I put on this boat?

Thanks, Larry

Larry,

I have a 22' C-Dory that trolled very easily with a Honda 5. However, that 5
did not have a charging system. And it was the only Honda product that I've
ever owned that was never right. Honda took it back and credited me towards
a Honda 8 w/ alternator and electric start.

The twin 8 was a vastly better choice due to smoothness and keeping the
batteries charged all day.

If you mount a troling motor on the transom, put it on the side opposite the
driver, to help balance the boat when you're alone.

Me? I think I'd go with a little electric one on the bow - cleaner, less
noise, less mounting hassle.
