600 watt (2.0hp / 80# of thrust) and also available 930 watt (3.0hp / 120# thrust of thrust) variable speed trolling motor called Vortex® Trolling Motor

The Vortex® Trolling Motor is a revolutionary product that sets a new standard for trolling motors. It is the result of matting a 3-phase DC electric motor with an outdrive to deliver torque and high speed that other trolling motors can’t match. This new system has been tested for over 200 hours for reliability and durability. Thanks to its rare earth magnets, it delivers continuous torque and speed to power the heaviest of kayaks. The Vortex® Trolling Motors Brushless motors draw 1/3 of the power of a conventional trolling motor, therefore, requiring a smaller and lighter battery to operate. The controller has all the functions at your fingertips, variable speeds to dial just the right speed and a visual amperage/voltage indicator that shows consumption rate to minimize wasted energy. No assembly is required, just Plug and Play. Travel time per charge yields approx. 8 hours at lower speeds and 2 hours at higher speeds depending on battery type and size. The Vortex® Trolling Motor is the ultimate trolling motor for any kayaker who wants to experience the ultimate in performance and reliability.

Vortex® Trolling Motor Sea Trial with Hobie® Mirage® Drive Outback Kayak

Flat Water
12vdc @35a battery consumption per hour = 6 mph                 600 watts
5 mph Winds and no current
12vdc @15a battery consumption per hour = 4 mph                 600 watts
15 mph Wind Light Chop + Current (3mph)
12vdc @18a battery consumption per hour = 2.3-2.8 mph      600 watts
Battery Consumptions
8 hours at low speed and 2 hours at top speed

Calculations for speed and battery consumption will vary per kayak and may differ in results and or performance.

A small reduction in speed will substantially decrease battery consumption while maintaining nearly the same speed value

A point of interest, the more amperage increase, will not necessarily increase speed but will increase torque.
