Hello... Looking for some help...I have a sears die hard 1 hp electric trolling motor from the late 90s that I'm looking to sell and don't have a clue on what to ask for it..any suggestions? Thanks for your help

well, for starters, "Sears" Die hard was probably a Minn Kota made for them....
that might give you a lead on this...
nowadays, Trolling motors usually list "pounds thrust" instead of horsepower....
a general rule of thumb is that 75 pounds of thrust equals one horsepower....
now: when Trolling motors start getting into THAT area of thrust, they are often 24 VOLT systems, which means it uses TWO batteries to run it...
do you know if your TM is 24 or 12 volts????
if it is 12 volts, the "horsepower' rating might be a bit exagerrated....

I appreciate the input. I believe it is between an 18 and 28 pound thrust. It is a 12 volt that was on a smortsman s canoe...I was thinking around 50 bucks, but wasn't sure if that was a rip off or a bargain..and thank you for the info on the die hard being an old minn Kota in theory. It's always good to learn something new!
