Freshwater Fishing

Quiet approach speed, long trolling hours from one battery and a propeller that sheds weed instead of collecting it.

Anglers on an inflatable boat driven by a transom-mounted Hightime trolling motor.

Pain Points

What Goes Wrong In This Application

  • A petrol outboard is loud enough to move fish off a shallow bank before the first cast
  • Weed and line wrap around the propeller and stall the run
  • The angler cannot see how much battery is left and cuts the session short to be safe
  • Long trolling sessions with a fixed tiller become uncomfortable after an hour
What The Customer Needs

What Hightime Specifies Against It

  • LED battery indicator, with a voltage meter on the DT, FT, M, P and S Series
  • Telescopic tiller, 130 mm on the T Series and 390 mm extended on the 31 inch shaft series

Solution Flow

How We Work Through A Specification

Define The Boat

Hull length, loaded weight including crew and tackle, transom height and the battery voltage available on board.

Pick The Thrust Band

Match against the published maximum boat load per model, then add margin for wind and current.

Choose Brush Or Brushless

12V stepped control for simple duty, variable control and 24V or 48V where the hours are long or the water is salt.

Confirm Packing And Loading

Carton size, net and gross weight and container quantity are published per series so you can plan the shipment.

FAQ

Freshwater Fishing Questions

What buyers in this application ask most.

Which Series Do You Recommend For Freshwater Fishing

The series shown on this page cover the usual cases. Send us the boat length, the loaded weight and the battery voltage you run and we will name the exact model.

How Much Thrust Do I Need

Work from loaded weight rather than hull length. The published maximum boat load runs from 200 kg on the T Series to 1200 kg on the MAX300 and P300. Our thrust selection guide sets out the method.

Can One Battery Cover A Full Session

The factory reference across the range is a 100AH deep cycle battery. Rated current is 11A on the brush series and 5A on the brushless series, so a full session is normal at trolling speed. The battery guide shows the arithmetic.

Is The Propeller Weed Resistant

Yes. A weedless machete propeller is fitted to every series, 2-blade on the T Series and 3-blade on the others.
