Fisherman with specially outfitted bay boats tend to choose medium 70 to 80 lbs thrust motors and frequently with i-Pilot/GPS control. These motors are great in moderate breezes and moving currents.
In general terms voltage/thrust ratios are as follows: here
Fisherman with specially outfitted fish 'n ski boats tend to choose medium 55 to 80 lbs thrust motors and frequently with i-Pilot/GPS control. These motors are great in moderate breezes and moving currents.

You can learn more about the thrust to horsepower calculator with John on this thread. [links]
To convert thrust to horsepower, there are generally two methods more
Horsepower (hp) = current draw (amps) x voltage/764more
So thrust vs horsepower, what’s the difference?
So 1 hp trolling motor basically equals to 70 lbs of thrust, and about 0.6 horsepower is a 55 lb thrust trolling. [links]
If the manufacturer only provides Watts drawn by the motor, we can convert this to amps by dividing against the voltage being used. You have to be careful if you are using a 12V, 24V or 36V system as this can affect your calculations. For example, if we have a 50Ah battery and a motor that draws 624 watts at full speed and uses a 12V battery, we would use the following equation:

Designed to fit a wide variety of vessel mount locations.

Amp Hour (Ah) is a common rating placed on Deep Cycle or Marine batteries. This rating measures how long a battery can maintain a consistent amperage output. More easily put, how much charge the battery can hold and how long it can power an electronic device. The larger the rating, the longer it can power a device or trolling motor. [links]

The next important thing to know is the measurements. Here, we have:
The battery in a trolling motor is used to store extra energy for use when necessary.
If there’s no information about amp hours on your battery, there should be the letters RC, which means the energy pack is Reverse Capacity. This means that in 10.5 volts and at around 80F, the battery will draw 20 amps in a certain number of minutes.
