Is a 30 lb thrust electric trolling motor too big for my 12′gamefisher? Will it troll slow enough?

renpen asked:


I would be replacing a 12 lb thrust motor that trolls just fine with this bigger one.

    it’ll troll just fine. i have one.
    why are you replacing the old one? the new might use more battery quicker.

    It’s all based on RPMs and what you want to catch. The faster you troll, the bigger the fish (because the slower fish can’t catch up). You want to go about 1 or 2 knots (1 or 2 mph) on fresh water.
