I think you will be fine with the 80# on that size boat, make sure you have plenty of battery capacity, I have a 200amp-hr in total which gives me a solid 4 hours trolling before I would hit 50% on the batteries...cheers, roger

Planet al;n606216 said:Yes it's an electric start so connecting to that system is ideal. Dumb question but are outboards all equipted with an alternator for battery charging? Does it matter if the trolling motor is 24v instead of 12 and what's an e-anchor? (I should know this stuff!)
