bigdog2594 asked:

I am re-doing some of the items on my small 15′ trihull and I would really like to add a trolling motor on the bow. What I am finding is that the bow mount is 3x the price of a rear or transom mount trolling motor. Has anyone created or found a mount that will work and save me some $. With the price of gas, I need to cut some corners somewhere so I can still afford to put the boat in the water, lol.

I have a 12′ aluminum boat with a trolling motor and would like to use a depthfinder that I just bought. I’m also not quite sure how to connect the terminal end of the depthfinder to the battery. There are split ends with +/- on the cable. I bought “battery charger and testing clamps” and wondering if I those would work. Thanks!

I’m looking to get a 12-14′ jonboat. Is it sensible to use a trolling motor for going around a lake for a couple of hours (from spot to spot not constant trolling). How many pounds of thrust should I be looking for?
