I own a 1986 Super Sport 13 with the original 40 hp Yamaha. I am planning to install a transom mounted trolling motor. Any recommendations on:

(1) shaft length (30, 36 or 42 inches);

(2) thrust (30, 40, 45, 50 or 55); or

(3) brand and model (Minn Kota Endura or Minn Kota Riptide or Motor Guide VariMax)

Minn Kota Riptide! I have the RT55 with autopilot/copilot and love it. See my personal page.

They have a new remote controller that will follow a GPS course now. It's just like flying a Cessna. No worries!
