IMO, an electric trolling motor will not last all day, 6 hr is about max time and that might be pushing it, depending on your speed. IMO The gas kicker is you best option, I'd go with the 6 hp. If your main motor ever went out and left you stranded out in the middle of a lake, getting back to shore with an electric might be dicey but as long as you have gas that kicker will get you back. I have both on my boat but started off with the kicker, then added the electric later. What I do now is use both, when I troll the gas motor pushes the boat and the electric steers it with autopilot.
