I am going to purchase a bow mount trolling moter real soon but need to do some reasearch before purchasing. Lets be honest, sometimes the sales people like to think they know best, but not always true, heh.
Anyway, I will most likely go with a Min Kota, they seem to be the most popular and have been around along time,
Question is, how many pounds thrust and what lenght shaft?
I have an older 16ft. Bayliner speedboat(fishing boat to me) with a 85 Hp. I believe last I checked it was around a couple thousand pounds.
I'm not interested in an auto pilot, but want the foot pedal control.
We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
