[QUOTE="milli, post: 414076, member: 20997"] Yeah the bow mount trolling motor is broken. It works but it has a very loud motor and it will only go forward and to the left when using the foot control. I could not get it to go to the right. It seems to try but then stops. It came with the boat so its not a big deal. I plan to give it to my dad for his sail boat since he only needs it to push I'm straight. He can turn with his rudder, and then he doesn't need to have a gas motor on it. He was complaining of smelling the gas when out on the water. I don't use a trolling motor much when I fish. I tend to find a good spot and stay. I have a 36lb in the rear that is there mainly to help get me back to shore if the motor fails. Better than using a paddle. I was going to buy a bigger boat next year and still might but I really like this boat and it is very sturdy in the water when walking around. There are going to be some changes however. The front pedestal seat was a pain and my buddy ended up just taking it out while he fished because it got in the way. I ordered some cup holders that flush mount, and plan to put two in the front bench seat and 2 in the rear and 2 in the console. [/QUOTE]
