Guys, I have tried both a 30 and 18 pound thrust trolling motor on my Pro Anger 14.  The 30 pound thrust motor is faster, but not by much.  The 30 pound thrust motor is a big pain to get through the mirage drive hole.  The other big pain is installing and removing the batteries inside the hull below the seat.  I decided to make things a lot easier so I went back to a 18 pound thrust motor and made a battery box that quickly installs.  Yes, I know the cord I am using is not typically used on DC Power, but I'm giving it a try.  My batteries are fused.  Below is a video of the new setup.

That's a nice, clean install - love the battery box.  Have you measured your speed with that?  I'm curious how fast that 18lber pushes you along.

Thank you.  I was going to take my gps with me today and forgot.  It goes about as fast as I could cruise with my turbo fins.....maybe a little faster.  I will let you guys know how fast it is next time I'm out.
