after trying a 30lb thrust trolling motor on my canoe, Ive almost decided to move on to a small outboard.
to me it almost seems like the prop would be a bit lower from the canoe, then on a jon boat. am I incorrect on this? I dont think these little 2-2.5 hp outboards have a feature where the shaft will give if it hits something, so could using a little outboard be a little iffy when cruising in the shallow saltwater creeks that I hang out in?
here is the motor mount I will use, its rated up to 3hp.
