Who made the teaser for $60? I used them all the time. In fact I made a bunch of them years ago. 6 volt lantern battery & variable speed. Had different sized spoons and colors. Heavy plastic case that I think you could drive grin over it and it wouldn’t hurt it.

merk thats exactly what I had in mind except a few mods and a guy I know that sells them has them in a metal case with a 6 volt lantern battery like Fish was talkin about for $70.00 and thats a little steep if u ask me. But he swears by them and thats all he uses.

Merk what volt is the motor?

thanks

I need to do some checking but might know where to get motors really resonable.

A reasonable priced housing that can handle some abuse will be your next hurdle.

Switches, potentiometers, and wire are all inexpensive items.

I found and bought one from Today's Tackle.com it works great and was priced at $30.00 Plus shipping and handling. A friend of mine uses one and always seems to stick more fish.

If you didn't have things laying around you would have a hard time making one for that price.

It sounds like it is only one speed but for sure it is a good price.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • 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.
