Trolling Motor - How to Select the Right One
A trolling motor is used to slowly and quietly hold position, troll along weed beds, or slow the drift against wind and currents. They come in bow and transom mount.
There are several things to consider when shopping for a trolling motor. Do you want bow or stern mount? Generally speaking, a boat is easier to pull than push through the water. It is also easier to move the bow than the stern due to the difference in size and weight. These factors make a bow mounted trolling motor the most popular type. A bow mounted unit gives greater control, faster response, and easier positioning.
