Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum and to boating altogether. I have a Seahawk 500 Inflatable (I know it's not the best inflatable out there) and I have a Minn Kota Endura Trolling Motor to put on it (46 lbs of thrust).

The limit for this boat is 3.5 hp and I do not think there is a way to convert pounds of thrust to horsepower. Just for a general idea, would 46 lbs of thrust be exceeding the limit for this boat? And is this a good motor for this boat? Should I go more powerful, less powerful?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Chris
