Notes from the workshop and the Delta waters.
Matching electric motor thrust to your boat weight
An undersized electric motor leaves you without control in wind and current, while an oversized one drains the battery for nothing. The right balance between thrust, measured in pounds, and the total weight of the boat is what separates a calm day from one spent fighting the tiller.
How big should your trolling battery be?
The most common question we get in the workshop is simple: which battery should I pick for my electric motor? There is no one short answer, because it depends on the motor draw, the length of your sessions and your fishing style. The good news is that once you understand the formula, the choice becomes obvious.

See us at the Boat & Fishing Show Timisoara 2026
The Nautic Profi team will be present at the Boat & Fishing Show in Timisoara, 2026 edition, from 20 to 22 March. You will find us at stand B14, in the hall dedicated to propulsion and anchoring equipment.
How much pull capacity does your anchor winch need?
An anchor winch does not just lift the anchor. It lifts the anchor plus the chain, plus the wet rope, plus the mud that clings to the flukes and, in the worst moments, plus the drag of the current pulling the boat the other way. That is why pull capacity matters more than the anchor's nominal weight.
Lithium or lead-acid for trolling fishing?
The question comes back every season: is a LiFePO4 battery worth it, or should I stay on lead-acid, which is cheaper? The answer depends on how often you fish, how much you carry, and how much autonomy matters on a long day on the water. Let us compare honestly, without selling lithium at any cost.
