Best Trolling Motor?

[Dave Stewart]

The MG on my boat has been there for 4 years...24V 82lb .....you can imagine how many hours my trolling motor has on it guiding every day 9 months a year. I have replaced the steering cables a number of times....I just wear them out, wouldn't matter if it was a MG or MK on that part....when you are putting about 5 hours a day on one like I do, those cables will only last so long. I would recommend that no matter which unit you buy, put a bounce buster and tie down strap on it. Rough water is the worst enemy of a trolling motor when you are running. The MG is lighter than a MK and without the bounce buster you will be sending it to the shop if you fish rough water.

Rich, maybe you should consider buying a reconditioned MK they come with a one year warranty, and you can get more bang for your buck that way, But there are not a lot of them available at times.And yes tie em down when they are not in use,

I thought the same thing and looked some up at Cabelas, they just don't have hardly any in stock. I've looked at so many different trolling motors here lately, my head is starting to hurt! I'd better hurry up and decide or Mrs. Claus might change her mind!
