In Response To: Trolling motors (New 4.6 Owner)

We use a Minn Kota Endura 40 lb thrust on our 5.2 for docking. Does a great job in light to medium winds; a little iffy when the winds kick up, although we've always managed. Might want to consider the weight of the battery for the electric motor against the weight of a small 2-stroke.
