Conventional Trolling Motors
​Are the most commonly used motor for boating and kayaking. They are cost-effective and are equipped with 5 forward / 2 reverse speeds. They are primarily designed to propel you quickly to your desired destination or fishing hole, and then reposition your boat or kayak when currents or wind blow you off course.
Understanding Conventional Speeds:
– 1st and 2nd speeds are designed for “short bursts” only, not to exceed 15-minute intervals at a time. “Not for trolling”, as it will damage these two speeds.
– 3rd speed is for covering larger areas, traveling and mostly getting around while conserving battery.
– 4th speed is for traveling longer distances faster.
– 5th speed is for when speed is required, such as a change in the weather, current, chop waters, or an emergency; getting to safety or shore quickly.
