As time went on, MotorGuide engineers worked on improving the trolling motor and developed the super MotorGuide. It used transistors to produce the variable speeds and made a huge impact.

In 1984, Brunswick Corporation bought MotorGuide and it became part of the Zebco line.

As with any trolling motor, you need to figure out how heavy your boat is and what type of thrust will be needed to move it through the water without struggling.

The best way to go about buy a trolling motor if you want to save money is to buy it used over the internet in an auction environment. Once you have found the trolling motor you’re looking for, make a bid on it.

When deciding on buying used trolling motors, you need to figure out what type or voltage output you need for your boat. Smaller lighter boats don’t need a high voltage motor since there is not that much weight to move, but heavier boats need the higher voltage since moving a heavy weight through the water requires a lot more thrust than a lighter boat.

The three most popular brands of the trolling motors are Minn Kota, Johnson and MotorGuide.

Today, Minn Kota not only makes many different trolling motors, but they also supply the batteries to power them, chargers and many other accessories that go along with the trolling motors.

They have many styles to choose from including freshwater or saltwater, bow mounted or transom mount, electric or gas and quite a few different models such as the Maxxum, Edge, and riptide series.

When looking for a used Minn Kota trolling motor, first determine the power of amount of thrust you need. If you have a smaller regular aluminum boat, you don’t need a large voltage motor to propel it, however if you have a larger bass boat, you will obviously need a larger voltage motor since the boat is much heavier than a standard aluminum boat.

The most convenient way to buy a trolling motor is over the internet in an auction environment. Once you have zeroed in on the trolling motor you looking for, go ahead and make a bid on it.
Have a set budget you are willing to spend and don’t go over should you have rebid on the motor.
