Engine Mount Electric Trolling Motor

[DaveMorehouse]

I am new here and this is a double post. (The other one is in Fishing Forum.) If that is not allowed then I will keep whichever post is most appropriately placed. I don't mean to offend...I simply and learning the ropes here as a newbie. Post follows:

Hi all.

Have any of our C-22 Dory folks used the electric motors that mount on the cavitation plate of your outboard? I would like to use one for trolling but am not certain if 160# of thrust is adequate to troll the great lakes. I have a kicker (9.9 Honda) but it isn't connected to the Yammy 90 for steering. The Yamaha makes a poor rudder in anything other than calm conditions.

Any thoughts or experiences would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance,
Dave
