Can anyone tell me how many amps the motor is on this model and the rated wattage? Thanks

The amperage is right under the description. It's 12 amps and according to the formula Watts = V x A then it is 1,440 watts.

i took this information from the motor itself. 6.6/13.2 max amp at 115v. am pretty sure that motor is energy efficient as electric bill has decreased since installation.

It has a 450 Watt rating. Got this info from the machine label and from the manual.

Sure. It's 185 W, 115 V, 1.6 A, 60 Hz. Hope that helps! I've never had any trouble with this motor, either!

I see three other answers to your question. They are correct, but something else I would like to mention is the high surge current of motors, which may exceed the continuous rated power of 2000 watts. Something to keep in mind when choosing wire size, fuses, etc.

1/2, 3/4 and 1 horsepower motors, I own the #8 and it will do an amazing job, rated around 750 lbs per hour! I'm glad I paid the extra money for a product that will last a lifetime.

I believe it is rated to 100 amps. You might check with Watt's up to see if you are within limits.

motor p/n 6284878 ...17 amps. Keep in mind you need to run it on 30 amp service due to the initial start up draw.

I run mine on a 20amp breaker, and have not any troubles at all. The Motor so far runs strong and quiet. If it were me I would change the breaker on that circuit with a 20 amp, as long as you are not running a lot of other thing on that circuit all at once.

I didn't find the amps listed anywhere but the wattage is listed at 1500 and it is a 110 (115) volt. Amps = Watts/volts or Amps = 1500/115 or 13 amps. Does that sound right?

Hello Gail. It is a 500 watt motor and goes a steady 20 mph for me. I hope I have answered your question. Tony

This newer model has a 6.5 amp motor. Your model has a handle which can be screwed into either side. This newer model has a handle with a yoke that fits over the housing. This handle can be installed on either side and can be rotated and set at any angle through 360 degrees.

I do not recall as I purchased the motor for someone else. What does stand out from what remember is it seem like it was ran and not like new. It had minor damage not shipping related. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help, good luck!

the motor is rated at 1/4hp so that would make the current draw a bit less than 2 amps.

This is a variable speed motor. I am very rough on the motor, and it's really taken a beating. I love it! I recommend getting the MinnKota 60 amp breaker as well to protect the motor.
