Default troller

You could mount a clamp on troller on the transom as well for a cheaper option

Hey RAP,

What shaft length you running on your V. I really would like a different boat for inshore saltwater fishing, but the old v-20 is paid for and a trolling motor might be a less expensive route.

Thanks

Yeah..spend some money on an electric trollin' motor and SAVE A TON on another boat...get 72-80 lbs thrust, two 12 volt batteries, onboard charger and you'll open a whole new realm of fishing w/the same boat...

Shaft length...measure from top of bow deck where motor will mount, down to waterline...add two feet, more if you fish choppy water...

I probably should take this to another thread but what the hell.....

Reel, what would be a good trolling motor for a 14' mckee craft? I'm thinking of rigging dad's boat to be a cheap striper fishing machine. I know you are the expert!

Gonna build a portable bait tank too. How do you feel about this type aerator? A buddy of mine has one installed in a homemade setup and it works well however he said the motors don't hold up all that well. He also has an o2 tank supplying oxygen:

55lb Minn Kota Auto -Pilot...the AP feature keeps the boat straight ahead while you are working lines...nothing more of a pisser than havin' the boat circle back over the flat-lines you just put out...ESPECIALLY when by yourself, but even with someone it's great

Danco air infuser best way to aerate bait tank...the one you show goes out more than a UNC co-ed...


http://www.danncollc.com/


This one carburates the air (infuses) into the water stream...been using for years and it's the deal!!

TIP: no matter how you aerate a bait tank, sometimes they'll foam up on top...a couple of pinches of Coffee Mate and POOF...foam GONE!!...

I wondered the same thing risk a tank of bait to see if this works

1st time I heard about it was about 25 years ago from "The Bait Man" at Lake Murray...pulled up along side his bait-boat w/a foamy tank...he said; Lemme show ya something...couple of pinches right outta the CM container and POOF!!...FOAM-BE-GONE!!...and I says Fo SHIZZLE!!
