Remember a decade ago when the best electric trolling motor was a 24-volt model – two batteries – that generated 55 pounds of thrust? In retrospect, you might also remember how battery power, though a huge improvement over the oomph supplied to glorified eggbeaters a decade before that, was lacking for a full day’s worth of pedal-to-the-medal maneuvering.
Since then, advances in trolling-motor design have made for far bigger blasters so energy efficient that deep-cycle batteries often have enough juice left to go another couple of days. Beyond the parameters of power and run time, among the features on new-and-improved electrics are composite shafts that bend but don’t break, die-cast marine-grade aluminum elsewhere in the construction for greater durability and the option for compass-driven remote steering with either a foot pedal or a remote control.
