Bow Mount

[bklimek]

I know there is a place or two in the cities that refurbishes trolling motors and sells them. I don't know the name or where they are located. I would like to buy a quality bow mount for the fraction of the original cost for my boat. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Butch

I'm not 100% sure if they still do, but Capra's in Blaine has sold refurbs in the past. Also, Fish-Lectronics in Columbia Heights does. The Motor Clinic in Bloomington may as well.

I've purchased two rebuilts from Motor Clinic as spares for the tournament season, both have worked great.

Thanks guys!!! I'm looking to rig up my old 14ft mirro craft for bass fishing. I put a casting deck on it last year. Any suggestions on bow mount (brand, lb thrust, etc.) I'm going to hook up my vexilar to the front along with it.

On a side note do you guys have any suggestions for a good solid graph. I have nothing to look at when running my tiller. I want something that will accurately give depth as well as mark fish well. I saw an advertisement for a lower end Eagle and I know lowrance has some in the $100-200 range. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!!

Just reposing my question and bringing this topic to the top. Any help would be appreciated.

Bk, I bought a refurbed 'kota last year from these guys and they were really great to work with.

i would suggest you spend the extra money for a lms 332c or 334c. that with its built in gps plus color sonar will be a choice that you can use for years. if you want something cheap i do have a hummingbird castable one. the one that is like a bobber that casts out and transmits to the unit by you. this can be pulled behind a boat. not exactly what you want but thought i'd mention it.

BlakJack are they located in LA??

THose are nice depthfinders my buddy has one but not sure if I want to drop that much cash this year on this little project.

[blakjack23]

Yes, they are in LA, but since you don't pay any tax the shipping evens out. BK, whats your email addy?

bklimek,

The Eagle FishMark 480 is a solid graph that sells for $200.

Medicine Man I was looking at the Eagle FishMark 480. It seemed like a good buy. I might have to do some further research on it.

[blakjack23]

bk, you have mail.

That fishmark 480 does look like a good value. I've been thinking of buying one of those for my bow this spring.

[bklimek]

Well I bought a fishmark 480. I couldn't pass up the deal I got at the boat show. I got a lot of my bass fishing done for the season at half the cost. Now all I need is a bowmount. Blakjack I never received that email????

blakjack23, if you're willing to spending a little more I strongly suggest buying a color fish-finder. Once you've gone color you'll never buy a grayscale again.
