    60" trolling motor?

    I believe I need a 60" trolling motor due to the height of the bow of my boat, if you have a 60" trolling motor could you post what make and model boat, would like to see how high other boats are with this size, pretty sure I do not need a 72" but want assurance. Boat is a Pacific 1925. TIA

    The boat in my signature had a 60” MK Fortrex on it when I bought the boat. Boat has a 25” transom.

    I have a 60" Terrova on my 2011 Basscat Puma. I primarily fish LSC and Erie so that is why I went that route.

    Thanks I have seen that shaft calculator before, Looks like a need a 72" as my bow is 40" from the water, problem is the choices are pretty limited for a 72" shaft 24v

    No problem just get a 36v. And if it's battery space limited I'd suggest 3-50 amp hour ionic lithium's from drewcraft. They will fit where two batteries currently fit and since there is 3/36v there is more energy than your current two batteries

    I would like to just can't justify the cost and I would be using AGM batteries and don't want that much weight in my limited space where I can put the batteries.

    I have a 60" / 36V on my rig. I need to have the 36V for the rivers and tidal conditions I fish.
