Minn Kota Endura C2 30 Freshwater Transom Mounted Trolling Motor (30" Shaft)

This is my second Minn Kota. I use it in Salt water on my Archicillies dinghy with a waterproof charger mounted on the transom. This 55lb. Thrust motor pushes me around at 3.5 mph in a 10 foot hard bottom inflatable for over 2 hours on a 12 volt Group 27 AGM Sears Deep Cycle battery. My last Minn Kota was 44lbs. Thrust and the 55 is much better for my size of boat. Better than gas with easier start and no noise, great for a conservation with a friend. If I had $3500 to blow I would go with the 10 h.p. Torqueedo from Germany!!! The down side is its 36 volts and the batteries are too heavy for my size dinghy. I had a Honda 2.5 h.p. air cooled and only weighed 27 lbs. Great little engine with the least maintenance but very Loud at full throttle. Top speed was 5 mph with the gas Honda. Go Electric and enjoy the silence, It's Golden!!!

I guess I waited 10 years to write this review. Mine is still like brand new, and runs perfectly. Used on fresh water lakes on a 16' old town poly canoe (about 70 lbs) on a twisted aluminum motor mount bolted to the transom (and also just bolted to the side of the transom, which works great too, and doesn't require a motor mount). I usually use it when I go out on a "beer float" with my wife (she thinks it is a wine float) with a 100 amp/hr lipo battery, or older lead acid battery. The lipo battery is awesome, nice and light, and lasts a long time - maybe 3-4 hours. And the motor is light too. That is a great setup for canoe. I usually run on setting 4 (goes 1 to 5 forward), and only switch to 5 when the battery gets low, and doesn't go as fast. Also, I put it on an old 12' aluminum v hull. It is too small really for that boat, with 2 people (ok for 1 if you don't want to go too fast). I'm getting a 55 lb thrust for the jon-boat (I have a bunch of outboards that are a lot nicer, but the battery is so nice for talking and having a nice outing with my wife). Anyway, for a canoe, I think 30 lbs thrust is enough. For jon-boat, go 55 lbs or more. Also, the old min-kotas that are smaller than 30 lbs are too small for a canoe. Anyway, this is the best way to motorize a canoe, in my opinion, as it is so quiet, and comfortable and light. I've tried outboards too, and they usually go too fast, and make too much noise, for going on a beer float with someone you want to visit with. We have other boats and set-ups ... but the canoe with the electric motor (and a reclining beach chair backwards in the front, reclining with a cup of wine) is my wife's favorite.

I've used this motor now for two fishing seasons. It's reliable, quiet and exactly what I need to push my little boat around the lake. Using this motor with a 90 amp hour battery, I get about one long day of fishing in, so it's helpful to pack along a second battery just in case. It's light, packs up tight, and comes apart easily if you need to change the prop or unwind fishing line that gets inside the housing. This is a great motor for the price. Highly recommended!

Great product!! This does my Pelican Bass Raider 10e well!!!

Producto muy bueno.. Funciona perfecto y lleva una velocidad no fuerte pero buena para lo que la quieres.. Me gusto
