It can move the boat at 2.9 mph when needed.

When you are fishing a school of fish that are moving, that 55 lb trust trolling motor will not keep up with the fish. OR....if you see a fish hit the water surface 150 yards away, the fish will long gone by the time you get there with a 55 lb TW.

IMO....you will catch more fish with a 70+ lb trust trolling motor.

I kept hoping that the old 55 lb TM would break so I could justify replacing it with a bigger TM.
