Thanks Lenny. Any way to calculate the Amps a 50 lb thrust Minn Kota would draw pushing 1,800 - 2,000 lbs of boat? The answer would be, "get an amp-meter", right? --Craig

At 756 watts/HP you can determine the power consumption..........thence, E=IxR and P=IxE. Now, you know,,,,,,,,,,,,,the rest of the story.......................hehehe.
