Electric on a 5.1 Trailcraft Profish

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if I could put and electric motorer on a 5.1 trailcraft with a 115hp Yamaha four stroke  on the back? or am I wasting my time??
Cheers Steve

If you have have a Profish just get an I-pilot up front, get the 80lb 24 volt.

Once you get an I-pilot you wont ever fish without one :)

I've got an 80lb 24v minnkota ipilot on my 535xs barcrusher.  My suzuki gets me to the area and then the leccy takes over.  

It is quite powerful and moves the boat quite well.  I've got 2x80ah batteries powering it and just charge after each outing.  Longest session I've fished with the leccy was over 5 hours and the ctek said the batteries were still over half charge after it.  Might have something to do with the way the minnkotas manage their power output.

Great investment for your fishing in my opinion!
