Let me preface my remarks by saying I have no idea what I'm talking about. [
] I own a pontoon boat but no trolling motor yet. I have done a little research and that's what I base my answer on.
I can't imagine you needing more than a 30 lb. thrust motor. they weigh considerably less than a 50 lb.'er and should provide more than enough thrust to move you around. i believe the minn kota endura 30 weighs around 25 lbs. plus you'll need a halfway decent battery which will probably add another 15 to 20 lbs. so keep that in mind.
there are others here that actually have the tm setup and i'm sure they'll chime in with smarter answers but i thought i'd toss in what little i know!
