I need some help, please! My question is similar to one posted previously by someone else, but had not response. Can someone please help me figure out how many lbs. of thrust an Evinrude Scout 12/24 trolling motor has? I don't see any model number or serial number on the unit. It is on a boat that is a 1988 model, so I assume it's the same age. It has a 36" shaft (I think), and it a foot-control bow mount unit. I am having some trouble with it and thinking about getting a new unit, and want to make sure I get one with at least as much (or more) thrust than this one has. Or if someone can just give me a general recommendation, the boat is a Ranger 393 with a 200 horse motor, the hull weight is probably 1375 plus 400 lbs for motor plus who knows what for three batteries, gear and 2-3 people. Also, are the new models (minnkota and motorguide) any easier on the foot with the new style pedals? Thanks for any help/recommendations, good fishing and may the Good Lord be your Guide.
