I'm thinking about getting a small trolling motor for a Crestliner
1850 sportfish. The boat is about 18 feet and 1500 lbs +motor+cargo.
It is wired for a bow mounting motor so thought that would be the
logical choice. I expect the trolling motor will be used more for
maintaining position in light wind or moving about in local area.

I'm looking for recommendations on: thrust, length and anything
else to watch out for (mount type, control...)
