Planning a trip to the Salt Marsh shop in a couple of weeks and thinking through details on how I might have an 18 Heron setup. Any thoughts on trolling motors, both shaft length recommended, and 12v vs 24v motors? Leaning towards a 12v 55lb thrust 54” shaft. Most likely a motorguide with pinpoint gps. Any input on xi3 vs xi5? Had a xi5 on my Pathfinder and really liked it. I’d really like to minimize batteries and usually fish with the wind at my back and don’t have to fight a lot of current so I’m thinking the 12v should be plenty but would like to hear feedback from anyone using a 12v system on similar boats.
