Trying to get lined up on a troll motor for 22’ Bulls Bay.Would 80lb,24V,60" be about right?Can someone tell me what the difference is with i-pilot or with i-pilot link?
The link talks to a humminbird fishfinder and can hold at waypoints or follow contours lines or tracks.

You’ll need more than 80#'s and 24V. That is what I use on my flats boat. You’ll need a 36V system and most guys will say to go 1 size bigger than suggested.
I have the 80lb 24volt (54")on mine and no problem whatsoever. Can run it all day. I have a Garmin 7608vsx for my sonar/gps. BTW, the 60" will work as well, just adjust depth with the collar lock.
Thanks DoubleN!

Bought it new and did the whole deal at Berkeley Marine, Moncks Corner. No regrets.
Ask for Joe Smith.

Have a 80/24 60" I pilot on my 23’ cc great paireing, I see no need for a 36V! Use in both fresh and salt, Have seen one time I might have needed a longer shaft but good on power and battery drain.
Marsh, 80# thrust will be fine for most times you want to use a trolling motor. if you have a t-top, and fish windy conditions, the 80# will struggle. If you fish heavy current and try to fish into the current, the 80# will struggle.

IF I RESPOND IN ALL CAPS, ITS NOT ON PURPOSE, AND I AM NOT YELLING
Chris V, thanks for info and I don’t have a T top and will mostly use the troll motor at artificial reefs to stay on structure

80# was enough for my Pioneer 197 SF, with T-top. But be sure to have enough shaft length for fishing the reefs…in rough water. ’ not sure how high is your bow(?), but you might want a 72" shaft for fishing reefs in rough water.
’ sure beats pulling anchors.
