I have a 15' 4" Kingfisher and I think I am going to get a new trolling motor. What pound thrust would you recommend and brand?

At least 102 lbs.

Well, actually, I'd at least go with 55 lbs. 40 lbs. would work, but I've learned to go with something a little more than what people would recommend for a boat. My current boat came with a 56 lbs. and I replaced it with a 71 lbs. Do you have a 12 volt trolling motor or a 12/24 or what?

I will just be using a 12V.

Well, I'm a Motorguide fan, but not too many on this site, so I'll recommend a 55 lbs. Minn Kota All-Terrain Bow Mount Foot Controlled trolling motor for around $370.00. It has a 42" shaft. Motor guide also has some 46 lbs. and 54 lbs. foot or hand controlled trolling motors for under $400.00. Hope this helps.

up until last year, I had a 15'6" bass boat with a 33 lb. thrust minnkota trolling motor. After i purchased it, i wished i had gone to at least a 40 something lb. motor. if you get into a real windy situation, more is better. brand wise, i prefer minnkota over motor guide, but that's just a personal thing.
