Need suggestions for a new trolling motor for my TR20

[WormGrunter]

Any suggestions for the right trolling motor for my TR20. I just want foot controlled 24v. How many pound thrust would work best. Minn Kota or MotorGuide. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

TR20X nothing less than a 101, 52 in shaft. Can get good prices right now look in the trolling motors for sale section. And I don't fish tidal water. Big water longer shaft and more power is the way.

I'll take a look. Thanks for the response!

Depends on whether you want 2 or 3 batteries?? When I put a new TM on my boat this spring.......I stuck with 2 batteries and got the Fortrex 80lb.

I should also say - depends on whether you fish lakes or rivers. That makes a huge difference too. I fish lakes - so an 80lb TM works just fine on my boat. TR-196

I have a TR 20 dual console and 225 2002 82 ib trust Motorguide digital . I fishing in heavy tidal water on the James , Chickahominy and Potomac rivers . Never had any issues with an 82 lb trust .

I'll be fishing both lakes and rivers, I'm running a 101lb hand control with 3 batteries right now, I'm wanting to go with a foot control.

I fish the same stuff Dale Cook does with a TR 21 and I use a 24 volt 82 lb. motor. Can't see where I need 36 volt system and another 70 lbs in the rear.

I had a TR21/225 and it had the 24 volt 82 lb. Motor guide and it did extremely well
I don't ever remember not having enough power and I had that boat 7 years

My new boat has the 36 volt 101 lb Motor guide and I don't really notice any differrence
More than once I have considered going back to the 24 volt and dropping the weight of the third battery

[WormGrunter]

Thanks for your input. Looks like the 24v 82lb seems to be the popular choice. I looked the idea of less weight in the rear. I'll look in that direction.

About the same size ....my Stratos 201 Pro ,i use a 24 v 74 lb MK ....it does find for me . Same as the 80 lb MK

Really depends on water. I had a mk 80lb on mine when i bought it. (tr21) It worked fine but was slow going up river. But i fish heavy current in the mighty miss so i upgraded to 101lb. If you arent fishing main river currents or main channels 80 should be fine.
