Trolling Motor Brands

Codedog	Just wanted to get your opinions, views & experiences with the different brands of Trolling Motors. Thanks!	2002-03-25
J.B. Cornwell	Howdy, IB. MotorGuide and Minn Kota probably have 90% of the market between them. Both make excellent motors with each offering a few models that are unique to their brand. Decide what features you want and either or both offer a good motor to fit. Good luck. Red sky at night. . . JB	2002-03-25
BBogey	IVANA BOATNOW, I asked similar advice here one day, (as I didn't have a clue) and one of the suggestions was that if I could cut loose with the extra $$$$ to buy one with "auto pilot", I did, and I love it! I'm glad it was suggested, because I would not have done it.	2002-03-29

AaronP	just bought a 67lb thurst 24 volt Motorguide bow mount trolling motor with foot pedal, and I love it. It is very powerful, and also very quiet. I had a Motorguide about 7 years ago and it was quite noisy, I was leery to go with them again, but I did, and am glad. This baby is sweet.	2002-04-10
rpeeples	I just put a Minn Kota 40ATH, bow mounted, hand controlled, trolling motor on my boat for $210 from Bass Pro Shops. The first time out I could not hear it running even on high speed. The only way I knew it was pulling me through the water. I was impressed. I replaced a Motorguide that was very loud and hard to control with the foot control. It worked ok it was just too loud and I wanted a hand controlled one. The Minn Kota was a little cheaper. I guess it depends on how you will be using it and how much money you want to spend.	2002-04-12
