    Well that time is finally here. Looking for a trolling motor for my rig minimum 24 v would prefer 36v. Spot lock is a must.

    Start saving.
    Depending what you choose, new, its gonna be a $3-5k (or more) purchase price after tax.

    If you see a used one that interests you be prepared to move fast as they don’t last long. I tried going the used route last year but was unable to connect, I ended up buying a new Xi5, my used 70lb Minnkota sold in a less than an hour on Marketplace.

    No real brand preference looking to keep it around the 2 k mark price wise.

    Two pretty decent deals - Those wouod likely be gone in minutes in boating season.

    @Little Spoon - what’s battery storage like in your boat for a 36V setup?

    I haven't fully looked in the battery compartment as I decided on a 36v setup after I put the boat away. I know currently there is 2 batteries under the rod locker and I know I will have to upgrade my charger as well as mines only a 3 bank right now

    Similar situation. I put the 3rd battery in the back next to the starter battery and ran wires to the front to create the 36v system. Make sure to use a multimeter to check that you connected everything properly. Added a 4-bank NOCO charger for ease of charging.

    Get two Amped Outdoors 36v 50ah LiFePO4's, hookem' up in parallel and call it a day! Same size as a 12v group 31 lead acid! And you'd save 150 lbs of weight in the bow.
