I'm concerned about durability over time. I'm got a very dependable 2019 Riptide Terrova. Only thing Minn Kota has replaced under warranty is two remotes. I run a wired foot pedal as well. I'd like to upgrade however I fish everyday and need a dependable unit.

The best thing I've done is install the alternator charger on my boats.. The trolling batteries charge while the motor is running.

Hey Shane you did a great run through of the new 263. It's a great boat compared to others. Thank you for running through it.

Thanks for the test. I am looking for a replacement. I had a Rhodan that had an electrical fire and smoked the unit after 5 minutes. Never again. Boat fires are scary. Which one is most reliable? Which one has the longest warranty?

Beautiful boat, question is both front deck starboard and portside long storages - are they both rod storage, do they have the tube system or open ?

Excellent test.For the sake of completeness and to placate some of the whiners pls specify the exact models tested, the prop used,the battery voltage, prop shaft length, and indicate if all tests used the same batteries and they were fully charged prior to test.Motor specifications are based on a number of variables in a lab setting which can vary by company. I personally prefer to rely on the results of your test provided the additional data is supplied. As a follow up it would be nice to include Motor Guide and Lowrance.

Thanks for the test. I'm not sure how to test it, but it would be great to see which motor is the quietest. That is one of my top concerns when buying a TM.

They all loose. They are so overpriced and break all the time. They are becoming like cars. Can someone just make a simple one that is reliable and doesn't cost a fortune.

Motorguide Xi5. I've owned one since 2018 and still going strong. No frills, just a solid spotlock trolling motor. Only thing I've had to replace is the remote. Foot pedal is not good, but I only use the hand remote anyway. It's not a cool kids trolling motor but it works.

Your view is noted but subjective...just like mine. I have had three 36v Minn Kota on two different Ranger Bays. I had to have all of them rebuilt. I now have a Rhodan for the past three years. It is def holding up better. Ocean or inside. What it does not have is a Jack Rabbit go button. Prob why it was behind in the 300yd shoot out. They should have said. Hard to believe everything on the internet when sales/money/kickback is at stake.

Do you take yours offshore? Maybe the offshore pounding is what kills them
@AnDre-tq1xr5 ай бұрын
@@Jasonbe71 Yes, I fish offshore and inside. I power up with one 36v 100ah battery. Ultimately the fish don't care what we pull up in and they always get the last say. Saying that, I would like to have seen if there was a sound/decibel difference underwater between these motors...for inshore fishing. Thanks

I am not brand biased either. Rhodan trolling motor...Minn Kota Raptor anchors...Garmin electronics.
@dannynone27845 ай бұрын
Did the angle between the boats and the lines holding the boats to the marker pole remain constant between brands? Were the trolling motors aligned with the keels of each boat for the thrust test? Since the lines holding the boats and scale to the markers and the motor thrust vectors were not parallel, your thrust numbers are a little low. Overall, a pretty good test.
