Canoe Motor
I plan to mount a 34 lbs thrust electric trolling motor on my 15'6" long, 37" beam canoe?
and I wonder if this is enough power? My friend has a 17'5" long, 38" beam canoe with a Minn Kota Endura 50. I have to say, this canoe moves fast, even set to 4 (out of 5) it is no problem covering what is known to be a mile, in about 15 minutes (4mph). I plan on using an Endura 34. Do you think I will be able to cruise anywhere near 4 mph? Even going against the wind or current, my friend can make 4 mph if he sets it to 5. Seems 4 mph is the maximum speed of the hull, maybe 4.5 mph. Thanks.
You are correct in thinking that there is a max hull speed for your canoe. Your friend reaches the hull speed on his canoe at a thrust level of 4. In your case your canoe is slightly shorter, so you might have a hull speed of 3.8 So the question becomes can you reach that hull speed with the lower thrust motor. I don't know for sure but I'd bet you will be close. Good luck!
