anyone use a electric troller on a 150 outboard on a 18 lund tyee.Was wondering if this may be an option.If so what thrust motor are you using.This new boat thing is taking way to much time from coyote hunting.


Thanks in advance for your time

I went with a Minn Kota - Terrova 80 lb thrust (24 volt) with a 60" shaft for my 1800 Tyee - 150 Honda boat - just like yours - lol.

Here was my logic -

A little chop and/or wind out there you will be able to hold your electronic anchor and have a little extra length to keep the boat prop in the water when you pitch around.

You could easily thrust the boat with a Minn Kota Powerdrive 70 lb (24 volt ) but I'd still say get the 60" shaft.

The Tyee sits pretty high in the water and your boat will come with 2 new interstate deep cycle marine batteries in the bow with the 24 volt plug ready to go.

Either motor is a good choice.
