Thinking of using a T200 for a Kayak trolling motor.
How does the thrust of the T200(calculated in LBF)
compair to the way a regular boat trolling motor thrust is calculated.

@Bigem47 Welcome to the RobotShop Community.

The units can be interchanged. A trolling motor’s thrust is often provided in pounds (ideally should be pound-force), whereas the T200 is in Kilogram-force.
The conversion is 1 lb-f = 0.454 Kg-f (or 2.2 lb for each Kg).
The calculations are essentially the same because they both use a spinning prop.
