Free delivery and returns on all eligible orders. Review: Massive trolling motor but does the job! - I was surprised by the sheer size of this motor when it arrived. I already have 18lb and 28lb motors for my kayak and canoe, and this 55lb thrust from Bison is a LOT bigger. I wouldn't mount it on the side of a canoe! This said, I bought it to power a small dingy (Porta Bote 8) rather than to fit it in a backpack, and it delivers! I will update this review as I use it on various waterways under various conditions, but will list my first impressions now. First, some info I couldn't find anywhere on Google.. power consumption in the different 5 speeds. I'm sure this will vary depending on conditions, what boat is being pushed, etc., but the average values I got were: Speed 1 5 amps Speed 2 11 amps Speed 3 15 amps Speed 4 23 amps Speed 5 49 amps As you can see, there is a big jump from 4th to 5th, in terms of both power consumption and speed delivered. Note speed does NOT double each time you change up! I haven't had a chance to use it on still water yet, but took it 3 miles upstream into a strong current yesterday, then back. I went all the way upstream at speed 5, and it took an hour. On the narrow sections the current was strongest and I was only making probably 1 - 2 mph headway, so the overall 3mph average was pretty good. On the way back I used the lower speeds (mainly 3 and 4) except for a couple of sections where I needed the punch of 5 to retain control past a weir and through a disused sea lock. Unfortunately we stopped to watch some kingfishers and a marsh harrier so I'm not sure about the exact runtime, but it was less than 45 minutes. We flew! The 6 mile round trip more or less flattened my 75 ah battery, but I didn't need to hook up the spare. I will conduct some rather more scientific speed/load/distance tests over the coming weeks and post the results, but for the time being let me say I'm very pleased with this motor! Review: Great value and has never given me any issues. - when I was deciding what outboard electric to get, every one was advising me to go with a more expensive minn kota, and to stay clear of these as reliablity would be an issue. I have had no problems with it and for the money I got a 55lb thrus compared to 35lb from minn kota at same price. I am delighted with this had it 3 years now and keep it well in a garage and everything is still great and had no issues with it. definetly recommend. ## Features - Bison Neraus Series.

This would last 5-6 hours on the lower gears. **Q: Would this move a 20ft fiberglas cruiser? I wouldn't have to be quick.** A: I have seen a 55ft/lb model adequately take out from the jetty and bring in a 23' cruiser on an inland lake but only for manoeuvring into open water before deploying sails **Q: what battery do i need and where can i get one cheers** A: We recommend using an 85ah 12v leisure battery. You should be able to buy one on Amazon, or ebay, or pick one up in halfords or a caravan shop. **Q: if you used a 100ah battery would this increase the usage time by much thanks** A: yes the size of the battery in amp/hours is a bit like the size of a petrol tank in a car ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Massive trolling motor but does the job! *by A***Y on 19 December 2019* I was surprised by the sheer size of this motor when it arrived.

Does what it's supposed to do. Only 1 thing is that the tiller/throttle control feels like it could be built a little sturdier. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bison 55ft/lb 12v Electric Outboard Trolling Motor with Free Spare Propeller - Bison BATTERY BOX CARRIER WITH USB CHARGER, LED METER, BREAKER & 12V SOCKET - 12V 85AH SuperBatt CB22MF Leisure Battery Caravan Motorhome Marine Boat --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48502013-55lb-motor](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48502013-55lb-motor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
