The Minn Kota Endura C2 trolling motor typically has a power rating of 30 to 55 pounds of thrust, depending on the specific model. In terms of horsepower, this translates to approximately 0.5 to 1.5 horsepower, depending on the thrust rating and efficiency of the motor. The exact horsepower can vary slightly based on the model and its specific specifications.
Yes, you can have too much thrust in a trolling motor. Excessive thrust can lead to difficulty in precise maneuvering and control, especially in tight spaces or during slow-speed operations. It may also cause increased battery drain and potential damage to the boat's structure or components if not properly managed. It's important to choose a trolling motor with appropriate thrust for your boat size and intended use.

There is no direct correlation of thrust to horsepower. Horsepower is a measurement of "work" being performed. Thrust is simply a static measurement of force. In other words, "Thrust" and "Horsepower" measure two totally different things.

If it were me, I would purchase a 55 lb thrust motor and it would be a Motorguide. A 55 lb thrust motor will be a 12 volt system. Beyond 55 lb you'd need to move to a 24 volt system that would require two 12 volt batteries for the trolling motor. A 24 volt motor would offer around 80 to 90 lbs of thrust. Unless you're going to use your boat in heavy currents or strong winds, I'd opt for a 55 lb motor.
Trolling motors are typically powered by electric batteries, which can be either lead-acid or lithium-ion. These motors utilize a propeller to provide thrust, allowing for quiet and precise maneuvering in water, making them ideal for fishing and navigating shallow areas. Some trolling motors may also be equipped with features like GPS and remote control for enhanced usability.
