Seamax 12V PowerMax 2HP Brushless Trolling Motor, Stepless Speed Control, Equal to 65 Lb Thrust, 40 Inch Shaft

We use the Seamax with our 12’ aluminum Spratley to fly fish stillwaters. We don’t troll, instead we use the motor to get us around the lakes in search of fish, then anchor and cast. Some waters are relatively large (500 acres or more) and wind can be a real challenge. With 2 of us in the boat, fully outfitted, total weight is close to 800-900 lbs. Motoring directly into 2’ rollers, high wind, and white caps, this motor performed; never did we feel endangered or unable to get back to the dock. Well thought out features: collapsible throttle, locking throttle position, three blade prop, brushless motor, locking transom clamp, 65 lb thrust, battery charge indicator lights, and more - this motor is a huge upgrade over the Minn Kota 55 Enduramax we’ve used for 10 years. The Seamax actually creates a boat wake which the MK never did. The only issue I have is that the MK is quieter. In reality, the slightly louder operation of the SM means little because as we approach an area we want to fish, we slow down considerably. No sense disturbing the water plus it allows our fish finder to work more effectively. Excellent electric motor.
