Electric Trolling Motors Guide (1) -Application

An electric trolling motor is one of the most useful pieces of equipment you can install on your fishing boat or small and medium sizes boats.  

They can be used as:

• The primary motor in moving your boat in a short distance or period.
• A backup motor in case of a failure of your gas motor.
• Used for trolling where legal.
•  Moving your boat a short distance to fish a new spot. The ability to maneuver your boat into tight areas with   great precision is invaluable on the water.
• Moving slowly along a piece of fishing structure while you fish.
• Holding your boat's position on top of a piece of structure.

Gas Outboard Motor Or Electric Trolling Motor ?

    There are many good reasons to use electric outboard motors over gas-powered in the fishing area. Two main advantages of using an electric trolling motor are that it’s quieter than gas motor and it does not directly release any pollution. They are also allowed in some ponds and bays where other outboards can’t be used legally. It’s popular for fisherman and ones who’d like enjoy the peaceful nature. And the electric trolling motor is small, light, and affordable.

    Following are several advantages and disadvantages between gas and electric trolling motor.

Electric Trolling Motor Battery

Electric trolling motor battery Selection is very important ,it directly influence the power of trolling motors . POER recommends to use 12 volt deep cycle marine batteries or battery system  to operate trolling motors. Firstly ,let us know more about the car batteries and deep cycle marine batteries .

Car Batteries

      Car batteries are designed to provide a maximum amount of current in short bursts. These batteries are designed this way to provide the needed current to turn over the cars engine. Then when the motor starts the alternator takes over and provides power for the car. With this type of system a car battery may never be drained more than 20% of it's total capacity. When used this way a car battery can last for years. Not to get too technical but a car battery uses thin plates in order to increase it’s surface area and provide power. 

Deep Cycle Marine Batteries 

      Where car batteries are designed to provide short bursts of current a marine battery is designed to provide a steady amount of current over a long period of time. A deep cycle battery can provide a surge when you need it but not near the surge a car battery can. Deep cycle batteries are designed to be "Deeply Discharged" over and over again. Please catch this! Deep discharge of a car battery over and over will ruin the battery quickly!  Marine deep cycle batteries can withstand several 100 total discharge/recharge cycles. While a car battery is not designed to be completely discharged. So how do I choose the right type of deep cell marine battery to meet my need?

POER Electric Trolling Motor Overview

        Electric trolling motors are the power of small and medium fishing boat and the other boats for outdoor sports. It includes an electric motor, propeller and controls. And is affixed to a boat, either at the bow or stern. With the electric trolling motor they can move their boat around the water but make a minimum of noise while doing it .Moreover ,it’s easy to operate and environment friendly .Electric trolling motors can also be used with a standard fuel (Gasoline-powered )trolling motor .Users operate them at slower speeds than the fuel trolling motor.

    Electric trolling motors are commonly rated by the pounds thrust of the propulsion force when running at full speed. POER Electric trolling motors have thrusts from 28lbs,34lbs,44lbs,54lbs, 84Lbs ,and even reach to 3 Horsepower .( Thrust of 3 Horsepower nearly equals to 3 times of 84Lbs’ ,and can troll nearly 5000kg Boat ).

    POER electric trolling motors are designed around a 12-volt, 24-volt or 48-volt DC electric motor ,with brushed and brush-less motor .While there are lots of similar transom mount trolling motors in the world ,but POER focus on the "High Cost Performance With Efficiency " and the " full motor experience "to share with our customers .

    POER’s underwater motor system is sealed inside a watertight compartment at the end of the shaft and It is submerged during operation, which prevents overheating. It mainly includes: Low Carbon seamless steel shell, high-purity cooper coils with high temperature resistance, good performance ferric oxide magnetic. Stainless steel propeller shaft and fine durability waterproof seal . The motor system has good performance in the water.

    POER  features: LED indicators-durable speed control switch- cool streamlined appearance- tilting tiller &folding handle -telescoping main shaft .More important ,POER features “ rich experience” both on using trolling motors on the water and manufacturering .

    The steady quality of electric trolling motor and endless researching on motor area are the very different aspects with any other manufacturers or companies in china .
