I just bought a 1970 john boat and trailer and i’m trying to get it into the water but I need a trolling motor and I would like an outboard motor. I won’t have more than 2 people in the boat at once with a total weight of about 400 pounds and i’m on a budget.

54jknb5487dfg46 asked:
I have a small 12 or 14 foot boat (aluminum) and a small trolling motor (electric). How do you have to be to operate a trolling motor. I am 14 and my mom cannot physically operate the motor due to arm pain. I wanted to operate it but I don’t know if I need a license/coarse, and if I do how fast can I get one because I am leaving tomorrow.

snoofy 10 asked:
i have a trolling motor that has stopped working intermittently. the trolling moter plugs into a 4-hole female receptacle inside the boat. The power source is a 12 volt dc battery (which is new & has no corrosion on the posts). is there a device i can use to determine if this female receptacle I plug the trolling motor into is receiving current from the battery and is working? if so, what is it called and how would I use it? thank you!

I was thinking of a john boat with a little outboard and maybe a trolling motor. should think of something else? any suggestions would be helpful.
