geeviam Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Edited: I'm about to buy a 24v GPS/Remote trolling motor for my boat. Which shaft length would be best - 48" or 54"? What length are other Redfisher 16 owners using? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxBluFin Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 54" 24v ulterra. Works great length is great especially if you fish where you get boat wakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your advice RedReaper. It can get bumpy with boat wakes where I fish. I went ahead and ordered the 54" to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxBluFin Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Nice. I don't think you will be disappointed. I love mine, had an ipilot and upgraded to the ulterra a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux Time Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I’ve got the 54” shaft on my i pilot. Like others said, it comes in handy when you’re bouncing up and down in an inlet etc. 24v should be plenty. I recently put one in my 16ft Bayfisher. I put the spot lock on in heavy current at Sebastian Inlet. It worked great. I have my batteries mounted in the center console under the steering column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
