This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Of course it depends on the height and where you intend to mount it. If you opt for the 52 you can't go wrong, especially on the choppy days when you are bouncing.

On the Minn Kota site there is a chart, depending on how far the water line is to your bow.
They suggest you do it on a calm day on the water and measure.
I am of the school that at little longer is better, just like thrust power you choose.
