[QUOTE="billz, post: 500294, member: 33787"] Hi, I just bought a used Jon boat (1436 sears) and am going to pay for this site and make a project, thats the plan. But to get me started I want to get a trolling motor that would be mounted center rear. I see pictures where people get trolling motors with shafts too long and have to reach way up to control. I dont want to be that guy and want the trolling motor handle to be regular height of what a gas powed motor would be. I have the option of a 24" or 30" shaft, which one whould work best? Can the shafts of trolling motors be manuualy cut down and be functional? Thanks guys, looking forward to this site. -BillZ Ill get some photos up later today. [/QUOTE]
