Minn Kota Troling Motor for dingy

[OdinAllFather]

I have a 2022 Ranger Tug 31S with dinghy and 6 hp Yamaha Outboard. I rarely use the dingy and if I do only for short trips ashore from anchorage. The Yamaha OB is getting difficult to lift for me even with OB lifter and a hassle to keep running when used so infrequently. I’m thinking of getting a Minn Kota 40 pound thrust trolling motor which is much lighter.
Anyone with experience in using trolling motors for their dingy?

I use a 55 pound thrust with a lithium 16 volt battery and it works great. I also put an ACP aircraft prop on the trolling motor and it works better than the factory prop. About 1/2 mph faster and less draw on the battery.
