Trolling motor question

[Fatdad5]

Is it possible to use a foot controlled trolling motor on the front of a 14 ft v without a deck?just going to have a floor.. I'm way to big to be up on a raised deck lol

Sure can. Just make sure all the cables are long enough.

If you get a Minkota Powerdrive cable length will not be an issue. Standard 18' cable.

or the MK Terrova has a long cord on the foot pedal as well. Get the Ipilot and then do away with the foot pedal, and use the remote to control the TM

just becareful with the powerdrives. it doesnt respond the same way a cable steer does. their is a split second delay and mine i cant steer and use power at the same time, but the co pilot remotes are the best thing ever. u can be untagling both the kids and fight a 20 mph wind from anywhere

Most times I run my front mounted Powerdrive V2 from the back of the boat. Long cable.

Wait....you say that you can not steer while under power with your Powerdrive? Is this just yours or all of them?

That is incorrect. There is a "continuous" and a "manual" mode. In manual as you move left or right you take your foot slightly off the power pedal, but in continuous mode, power is always on the speed you have set and you can make left/right adjustments as the boat is under power.
