Minn Kota Endura C2 55 lb thrust trolling motor review and test

[@tommyboy790]

The MAX also has a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) built into the unit which helps with increasing efficiency

[@daleval2182]

Good point on vibration, Minn Kota needs test them better and QC, they used to be the best, hope they dont loose that sentiment from old loyal fans? I had an old 32 lb, beat it for years, never failed, I gave it to poor guy, was paddling, he loved it, he prob atill has it lol

[@goldseekersadventures9380]

I made an extension for my Minnkota for less than 10 bucks, Easy pop on, and pop off. KZbin would allow somebody to post a picture of their build.

[@allans7281]

I have an Intex 40 pound trolling motor with a 36 inch shaft and there’s no vibration at any speed

[@backcountryengineer6516]

How long does that 12v battery last on a single charge? I'm curious how power-hungry the motor is.

[@Ibian666]

You can calculate that. The motor has whatever max wattage, your battery has whatever capacity, divvy it up.

[@backcountryengineer6516]

@@Ibian666 I know how to divvy it up, but unfortunately I don't know the wattage or current draw on this motor, just that it runs on a 12v battery. From what I've heard it seems that trolling motors have about a 2 hour run time with a 100 amp-hour battery, meaning a current draw of 50 amps. But I was just curious about this motor specifically.

I have a 55lb bow mount. With a good size24 battery, I'm good for a full day of fishing. I think if you did multi day trips you'd need to charge it. It all depends on how fast you run it.

How long does a single battery charge last?

[@yamahass66]

Beautiful place to fish

[@AnglingwithAnna]

Would you say this rolling motor would be simple enough to install and uninstall often? I want to use one on the job boats I can rent instead of hauling the boat sometimes

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Yes super easy to install each trip, moving a battery around with it is the hardest part if you are going to be using a full size battery.

[@daleval2182]

Do these motors brand new, from factory have a sheer pin?

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

Yes Dale, they do come with a shear pin. I did a conversion on mine changing the lock nut that holds on the prop with a kit that has a wing nut for easy shear pin changes out on the water. Switched mine after finding out the hard way.

[@daleval2182]

@@bluecollaroutdoors5556 thank you buddy, i will get a kit too, store in my tackle box, I bought a 12 foot Mastercraft Jon HDPE, my first plastic boat, came with a Traxxas Minn Kota 55 lb, im old now, dont want to lug heavy shit, and less maintenance to do, i bought a new 30 lb for the wife, up front, so she can try out steer me lol, long as I can out thrust her i win, hope it works out for us, the wieght factor, shallow draft sold me 👍, New sub, for responding to your peeps, TY again

[@castmastersoutdoors7762]

Why is his motor baxkwards

[@bluecollaroutdoors5556]

It is a transom to bow mount conversion. You can flip the head of the unit around based on where you want to run the motor.
