by **Olly** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 8:42 pm

I must be the only boat owner on the planet without a trolling motor. I want one bad.

Looks like those pups had fun.

Who cuts you the check for them? If it was like that over here I'd always be trying to kill them. If just to pay for the gas that day.

If you plan to do much fishing in your duck boat I would get one. It's only money.

I've been looking at them lately. Them things aren't cheap at all, and I don't even want a fancy one. Just a super basic foot control would be nice.

I'm sure you looked there already but I got mine from Walmart. Best price I could find around here and I've used the shit out of it for almost 10 years now.

12volt bout 100$ for refurb that s a bowmount +18-20$ shipping .just know will have some marks from folding up n down.simple transom mount 65$ .what happens is someone returns em and after a test we get em 90 days full refund deal

by **Feelin' Fowl** » Sun Feb 16, 2014 11:37 pm

How much does the price rise as the thrust pounds rise?

I'll be in the market for a transom mount soon, but 45# probably won't be enough for this hippo...

i don't really know about that .once a week i get a list of refurb,s and i only show a 55lb as far as a transom mount .ill call and see what the range and cost is for you in the morn on a new one. transom mounts don,t run near as much as bow,s do. what volt. you have 12.12-24.or just 24?

I've got nothing right now. Looking to put one on my carsten pintail (kayak type of boat).

I would seriously check out Walmart a tiller steer transom mount should be relatively cheep.

Not cheaper than $85 with shipping...

But Walmart is where I'll probably go if ea doesn't have one for me.

by **ea oneal** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:15 am

45lb will move the boat in the pic,s pretty good 14 x36 . you also need to think about a batt. that all adds pounds .a 45lb with a composit shaft and a good deep cell batt your good to go. i have a peroge 12x30 with a short footcontrol that is a blast just don,t have long legs .have to run a small batt lb,s add up. best to take boat and add some pounds to it and you and see what you can hold up easy and pic a set up .

by **Feelin' Fowl** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 2:22 am

My concern is going against the current on the river. It's got a capacity of 500 lbs, so I'm not too worried about weight with just me and gear.

I'm sure a 45# will work, but one of the bigger trolling motors may save me quite a bit of time.
