Trolling motor

coork · #1 11-16-2007, 10:30 PM

I am tempted to add a electric trolling motor to my V-20 CC for river, creek and sound *fishing. Probably want at least 100 lbs of thrust. Primary use for my boat is trolling for Kings, Spanish and Blues *out of Morehead City NC, but occasionally fish for Trout in the sounds. *Looking to be a little quieter on the water to improve success. Any suggestions or success stories will be appreciated, had one on my *McKee Craft 1800 and loved it.

Not necessarily these, but for the boat size you may consider them.

I think REEL runs one on his Cuddy, he should be able to steer you in the right direction.

You what it on the bow or stern

reel does have a very useable mount situation on his.
See if it is in his gallery.

Nope, ain't in his gallery. Might have to pm him to get pictures and specs. Unless someone can find the old posts.

See if he will post them for all to see

Think I want to stick to bow mounted if possible, have bad back and like to cast from pedestal. I have *a ladder on back of my T-top that interferes with casting.

make sure to go to a 24 or 36 volt so you have enough power in the wind and that you get a shaft that gets the motor down so it won't be coming out on waves as the bow rises and if you block any navigation lights you need to relocate them I would get the auto pilot model
as to wear to mount it can't help nice, looking boat but way the ladder

This is the closest I can find right now.

Not sure if anyone has a CC with the trolling motor.
