2 trolling motors on one boat?

[mhargrove88]

:?: :?: I have a 14ft G3 and I purchased a minn kota traxxis 55lb transom tiller. Great motor. I'm also going to buy a new Minn Kota PowerDrive 55lb bow mount motor next week after I install my front pedestal seat. I bought this boat knowing I was getting a bow mount motor, but never really liked the idea that once you have your motor down from the bow trolling around, you might accidently wander into a shallow stump field, so I opted to get the bow mount to get out of those situations. I was just wondering if more than one trolling motor is common among other fishermen. I don't have a gas powered engine, as lakes around me are electric only. :?:

Your setup is very common in electric only lakes. It will work just fine =D>

I've got a 1236 jon boat... I've got 3 - 2 on the rear, and a foot control on the front.

I still run mine up on shallow water... just have to rock myself off them with the bow mounted turned on high to get me out!

You'll be fine and doing 360s using both motors will be a blast,just don't throw up in the boat. :LMFAO:

2 tm's is very common in this area, and some do the same as Russ, with 2 on the rear, 1 on the front.

I have a small MinnKota transom mount I put on the Alumacraft when fishing SimpsonLake,a small electric only lake in St.LouisCo.I use it mainly to put the boat back on the trailer.

My boat (1436) had a 36# foot control up front when I got it, tiller 20hp on back. I added a TM on the transom last year. I keeps me from changing positions with fishing partner every time we go to a new location. If alone, I still stay in back of boat unless Im fishing docks, then Ill go up front.
