Pontoon series trolling motor

I have not used the 55lb thrust pontoon motor yet. I have used the 86lb thrust pontoon motor and it’s great. They are easy to mount, with a board over the transom on back of a pontoon boat. the tiller handle is well above the playpen fence. 14x7 pontoon goes about 3mph. A little faster if I have some weight at front of boat.
