Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Traxxis 55 suitable for boats up to 20 feet?
In calm freshwater conditions, a 55 lb thrust motor can support boats weighing up to 2,700 lbs fully loaded, which typically includes boats ranging from 18 to 20 feet. For windy or high-current areas, a higher thrust model may be required.
2. How does the Steering Tension Control work on this model?
The innovative collar above the mount allows you to adjust the exact amount of resistance. You can set it loose for effortless turns or tighten it to keep the motor in a specific position, which is particularly useful for vertical stowing.
