LOOKING FOR OMC ELECTRIC TROLLING MOTOR EXPERT

[SNUFFY]

I just found out a while back that because my Johnson TM has the smaller prop that I have about a 40# thrust motor.
I understand that they made a bigger thrust motor that uses a 12 " prop but can`t seem to find any info on them since they quit making them about the time OMC went bankrupt. I do know they contracted to get Minn Kota to build their OMC line for a couple of years.
In a couple of recent TXs I wished that I had a few more pounds of thrust even though the one I have now has been more than adequate 98% of the time. The weight of the 20` Bullet helps I guess.
I would like to upgrade to something bigger but would like to find a bigger true Johnson/Evinrude model since they are nearly indestructable. I`ve had 2 since 1985 and the one I have now since `96 and have only had to change one steering cable on this one...no other problems or repairs. the breakaway system they have is great. and I haven`t found any quieter.
Any info or a steer to someone who is knowledgable about the OMC line would be appreciated >

You can change your motor out to the 56 lb. thrust motor. Parts are still available for these trolling motors. John Swallows at ETM has the bigger motors and can swap it out for you.

Yeah, ETM is great. I had a problem on the water during the frostbite Tx, my motor wouldn't even run. I called him and I swear, 5 seconds after he answered my motor started working, no kidding. Now, how is that for good......you can even ask Mooseknuckle.

 

[MooseKnuckle]

Yep, you could feel the charge in the air when he answered, and then bam trolling motor started working!
