Hello all,
I have a Jackson big rig and I’m learning that trolling while paddling this beast is very exhausting and have only had the boat 9 months. I’m just looking for a way to do more fishing less paddling. Due to financial reasons I just can’t be swapping out for a pedal drive for a few years so I figured a sub 500 dollar trolling motor setup could be the ticket. I was thinking it would be best to side mount it so I don’t have to do any wiring for turning with foot pedals and what not and it just seems to be more convenient to remove. Anyways does anyone have pics of your setups and any drAwbacks you encountered? And if you do have one what pound thrust do you have? I was looking at a 36lb motor so I can get more runtime but am worried about if it would be enough in currents around the bay/rivers.
Thanks
Matt
