I need some help if anyone has any experience here. In the summer I go with the family to a family compound on one of the finger lakes (canandiagua, which has a very nice annual open water swm) during this time I often swim across the lake a few times. I go with a boat and someone rowing it but it is really a hard job, swimming is easier. I am looking to buy an electric trolling motor to go onto the row boat. Does anyone have any experience with this, how much power to get, battery life etc.
Thanks
On large rowboat I think you'd have to buy one of the larger trolling motors to keep up with you.
For a canoe with a transom though this might be an option.
A standard deep cycle battery should give youi three hours of steady trolling for the motor or more.
You can probably find good info from the trolling motor people.

Also hit the local bait and tackel and tell them what you are up to they'll be able to help.
