[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 117267, member: 863"] ***Something of note that I forgot to add, regarding the BPS Prowler trolling motors. This applies to the bow mount models, I can't say if it applies to the transom mount ones or not- I would assume they are the same. Even though they are made by another company- I think it's a Chinese company, I can't remember, Motorguide props CAN be used on these motors. This is a big deal, because the props made for these motors are very thin and flimsy, not something you would want to trust around anything but wide open water. I hope this helps someone someday, if they do a search on Prowler trolling motors made for Bass Pro Shops. EDIT: About the motor in general, the 45 lb 12v bow mount model is a decent buy for the money I think. It's not what I call a great TM, but for about $325, to get a variable speed TM, I think it's a good motor for a jon boat. It is quiet and seems sturdy. [/QUOTE]
