Minn Kota offers a very large number of electric trolling motors.
Any thoughts about what model to get for freshwater sailing in a lake without major waves or currents?
Thanks!

That's the only reason I'm considering an electric motor.

Minn Kota Motor Shaft Length
Becuse gas engines are not allowed in two places I sail, I am thinking of getting a Minn Kota Enduro C2, probably a 55 lb. thrust since it is only a few pounds more than a 45 or 50. I don't want to get stuck in a sudden squall or other emergency without realistic, maximum power. I need suggestions on shaft length. I'm looking at the 36". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, has anyone had experience with a LiFe battery with an electric outboard.
