Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more). With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways... -
Dang, new content and now answers. First, congrats on the new boat! My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V. 80 might be tops? I’m partial to MinnKota. How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too. All weather or just nice weather? Casting a lot or bait dragging? Bobber or panfish fishing? Spot lock? Networked with depth finders? What brand of depth finders? -

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.

Question
Paul Waldowski
Just throwing props out to Gander Mountain and Lowrance.
I recently purchased a LMS 330C and was having problems with the GPS module over the weekend staying locked on. Called Lowrance Customer Service this a.m. They have been having a couple of problems with there cables and said they would send another one out right away. I told them I really needed it working sooner, like tomorrow, besides what if it was the module and not the cable. They told me to go back to the dealer and see what they could do for me. I should then contact them and let them know what the outcome was.
Off I go to Gander Mountain in Lakeville. Explained the story to them. Their response was "What do you need." I told them a cable and a module. No problem I was told and walked out a couple of minutes later with them. Now that's customer service, no questions asked, just what can we do to help.
When Lowrance sends me the new cable and module they will be going to GM Lakeville for their display model.
Thank you Jimmy for the help. I can't tell you how much it's appreciated.
