How does this guy only have 6.5k subs? That video was so well done.

[toddstapley]

Great video to introduce a novice like me to the various trolling motors and systems out there.

I just want to say thank you for the excellent service. Im new to your site but placed two orders and so far everything has been super. Your prices cannot be beat.

You guys have bailed me out of having to buy a whole new motor twice so far this year, thank you

[toddmyraphotography]

I need a saltwater trolling motor with a spot lock feature.
I fish in wind a lot and in places with lots of current.

I currently have a Minn kota 24 volt on the bow, it’s a hand handle one and it’s fault annoying while fishing.

Also my batteries will last me 3 hours max when fishing on a windy day.

I may get some lithium batteries first just to see if I need to upgrade to a 36 volt for the future new trolling motor.

I would appreciate some knowledge with people who own a boat approximately 3000 pounds plus and on 19 plus feet bay boat Center Console 🙏🏻🎣😎

Could you give me some advice? If and when I sell my 16 1/2 foot boat, should I include things like the Minn Kota with spot lock trolling motor or my downrigger or my electric crab pot puller or davit setup? Should I sell all extras on their own? Thanks a lot

I Completely appreciate the "Just the facts, Ma'm" presentation. I watched a Castnet video this morning where the guy repeats himself for 2 minutes before he gets into the meat of the presentation...which is why I watch most of Youtube on double-speed. I'm here today because I'm wondering if a trolling motor would be a good emergency motor for my 23 foot cuddy cabin instead of another gas engine.

Awesome explanations and very helpful. I have a Minn kota riptide and a Torqeedo. The Torqueedo is quite noisy with a hum I put down to the brushless motor electronics. The Minn Kota is quiet in comparison. I use my motors on a canadian canoe and an island style outrigger. Is it a case that some brushless motors are quieter than others ?

[walterdowns]

Hi there like your videos but I am looking at buying a Minn Kota power drive 55 lb Trust i-pilot and I have not been able to find out what it is capable of doing. I specifically want to know if you can save routes on it and if you can how many. Or is it like the first Minn Kota's that you can only set it to go straight in any one direction??

[rustyworkman]

Great video I have a minn kotta edge 45 lb on my boat I bought it’s used anyway when I go to stow the lower unit doesn’t rotate to stow I have to turn it with foot control my other one rotated why is this one not.

[amonteamrealestate]

good job, simple and easy to understand

[JoseRuiz-cwei]

Thanks for the info, salute 🫡 from NYC fishing 🎣

[thomassniffen]

I have a 16 foot john boat, the total weight after everything said and done is about 1500 pounds, what motor should I be using

[Tarheelstate]

Amazing video, very informational for a guy that knows nothing about trolling. Thanks for this video!!!

[jscottchrist]

Great video and info. But...I have read many posts of people talking thrust lb and speed. So, is it true more thrust on the same weight boat will NOT go faster??

[StevedoesSMC]

short and too the point. much appreciated.

[jameshammett]
