How many amps does a trolling motor use?

[ZmOz]

Thinking about buying a small trolling motor...somewhere around 30lbs of thrust. How many amps will something like that draw?

Hi ZmOz,<br />Suggest you go to the Minn Kota site. They have specs for their motors & will surely put you close to where you want to be.<br />Regards,<br />Peter.

Depends on how thick of weeds and muck you are trying to power through with it!
