What size outboard trolling motor for your 18ft boat?

You will need the weight of your boat in lbs, the weight of the people & kit it is expevted to carry and then divide by 70. This will give you the thrust in lbs. For example a total weight of 2500lbs divided by 70 = 35.71, round this up to the nearest whole number is 36. Therefore a trolloing motor of 36lbs thrust is required. Bryan1324
