[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 3220911, member: 1827"] I want to trade or replace the foot controlled Minn kota on my boat for a tiller control. I have NEVER been able to get used to a foot control through 3 boats and 30 years. Getting older and less coordinated isn't helping. Anyhow. Looks like I can get the Minnkota edge with 45 or 55lb thrust. Boat is a 17' aluminum jon boat style center console with a 60hp. The foot control I have on it now is a 45lb thrust ( I think ) and it moves it well on a fresh battery. It practically pushes a wake on 5 speed. A buddy suggested looking into the 55lb thrust since I will be fishing more moving water, Caney Fork and below Cordell Hull Dam now that I moved. Trade off will be battery life. Is 45lb thrust and a longer run time a better choice for fishing rivers than a faster more powerful motor with shorter run time?? [/QUOTE]
