LOWinEYEin Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 In regards to Milfoil season, What motor do you prefer do get to the holes? Which trolling motor?Is there a T Motor prop that does it better than the rest?The Minnkota 36Lb thrust seems to do pretty good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I dont normally like to flame companies online. However if you do not have a minnkota, you are not getting threw with battery when you are done. I have a maxxum 74 lb.. and love it.. I would trade my Triton before I traded that Trolling moter!

Guest Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I have the "other" brand name with a three blade prop. I does not do well at all through the weeds. It's a 67lb 24 volt and I'm seriously considering a swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Trident-Do it.. it will be the best decision you have ever made. You will not believe how much more battery you have at the end of the day with a minnkota...MotorGuide moters are very popular in states that dont have the weed growth that we do. They make a great product and I hear they have very good customre service. However, not the best weed motor made... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay.P Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Definately go with the Maxxum 74 or 101. I ran a brute before my Minn Kota and I will never go back. Exude is right on the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I've convinced myself to switch. Checking on some deals.. The only thing I'm wondering is if the MK foot pedal fits into my recessed foot basin(BassCat). Anyone know this? I'd like to hear from somebody and there experiences with this before I contact BassCat. It looks like a very tight fit. Can a person easily re-wire the MK plug with the MG plug without problems. I assume they are different. I would rather keep the same female built-in receptacle and rewire the plug end if not to big of a hassle. Thanks.

baswacker Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 They really mean it when they say Minnkota is 4WHEEL DRIVE FOR YOUR BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have used both motorguide and Minnkota and I fish some of the heaviest slop you'll find on the lake!! I love pullen those pigs outa the muck and my 65MX 24 volt last all day long in it for the tournaments I fish ! The stuffs so thick you could probably get out of the boat and walk to shore across the matt but the workhorse Minnkota Chomps on through .No other trolling motor will ever touch my rigTight lines allBasswaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossT Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Minn Kota Maxxum all the way. Strong, quiet, dependable, and great customer service. Not mention they are also great on batteries and chow through weeds like none other. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass-o-matic Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Does anyone have experience with the MK Maxum vs. the All-Terrain? I see there is about $150-200 price difference between the two. I'm wondering if it is really worth it, or if the All Terrain will be sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
