Lightest spot lock motor

[DewRonInc]

I have a ghost trolling motor that weighs a ton it seems, causes the nose of my boat to drop around 81 or 82, I am having props worked now as they are both new. Which motor is lightest

[MichAngler]

That would be the power pole Move

But get ready to dig deep into that pocket

Ron I seriously mean no disrespect in any way shape or form with this comment. But that’s some serious first world problems right there

IMO, the MG Tour and Tour Pro have the best lift assist system hands down. The motor isn’t light, but the effort to deploy/stow is minimal.

I believe the power pole like MichAngler said.
Dang sure not the 36V Ultrex. That sucker is heavy.

If you just want spot lock, Motorguide Xi3. 41 lbs. :)

[STRETCH1]

Get a 12V motorguide bow mount motor. They are the lightest.

A pivot style trolling motor like a minn kota terrova or a motorguide xi3/xi5 would be pretty light. I have seen some Allison XB2003s for sale with that style of trolling motor, I would assume to get better speeds.

The power pole move pv style would likely be pretty light too I would imagine.

I've been blessed and cursed before because I have a tendency to communicate the first thing that comes to mind.

I have a background in (auto) racing. There's a bunch of wind drag/resistance at 80 mph. Perhaps some kind of spoiler/airfoil on the back of the boat would help. I also considered mentioning something on the front of the boat to create aerodynamic lift, but that probably isn't a good idea.

My MG Tour Pro 45" 36V weighs 63 pounds.

According to the specs, the Move is 53 pounds. https://power-pole.com/move-zr

I recently replaced the 36v Ultrex on a friend's boat with a PP Move and was shocked and amazed at how light it was even with the Universal Mounting plate.

The weight you quoted is most likely without the foot pedal. JC weighed just the motor at 51 pounds and the pedal was another 5 more. I'd rather believe a scale than a company pamphlet.

Considering the boat he is running I completely understand his concern. But you are 100% correct!!! Only a few would really appreciate it! CJ
