Coork...here's one we put on a 24' Everglades CC Total weight 4500 lbs...much more than our Vs...so this is plenty of thrust.
80 lb thrust 24 volt Auto-Pilot Minn Kota for SALTWATER ... in short, da BOMB when it comes to movin' your boat around w/electric power...the auto-pilot maintains it's course while your puttin' out lines, etc ...
And Co-Pilot is a SMALL wireless control to change speed, direction and ON/OFF...this is the deal .. will require 24 volts; two 12 volt batts (I use two group 31s) and while yer at it, add an onboard battery-charger to keep 'em HOT!!...mines just like this except an older model at only 72 lbs thrust...just make sure you get a shaft long enough to put the motor BELOW the water-line of the boat about 18" or more.
The auto-pilot and co-pilot may sound like gimmicks, but they're REEL world helpful for just the type fishin' yer talkin' about.
These things are really great ... any questions, lemme know... ;) 8) ...
