Two different motor packages are available with your Creek Boat. The standard rheostat motor and a digital version. Regardless if you purchase a rheostat or digital, each motor package features a MotorGuide 54 lb thrust motor. The most powerful 12 volt unit that MotorGuide has.

Other features include a stainless steel shaft and an all-metal transom mount for strength and stability. The transom mount can be tilted and the depth of the lower unit can be adjusted quickly according to the depth of water.

The lower unit of both feature a built in weed ring, extended skag, and a 3 blade Machete prop for quiet, weed-free performance.

The basic difference between the Rheostat and the Digital motors is how efficient the power is used from the battery.

The Rheostat motor draws full power from the battery even if you have it on the slowest speed setting. The rheostat located in the control panel is getting rid of the excess power to regulate the speed of the motor.

The Digital motor has circuitry built into the lower motor unit that only draws the amount of power needed from the battery. The difference in the two motors is not in the control panels. If you have a rheostat motor, you can not just change the control panel and turn it into a digital motor. For more information on MotorGuide digital products click here.

If you plan on using the motor a lot, traveling a long distance to get to where you are going or in swift moving water, you should concider a digital motor. If you're in a pond or small lake and most of the time your sitting still, then the rheostat motor will probably do just fine.

How much longer battery life will you gain by using the digital motor? There are no "hard numbers" saying it's 3 times the battery life or so, but people that have used the motor report a substantial difference.
