Finishing up the little repairs on my newly aquired SeaArk 1548 e.g. added trailer spare tire, new decking, added 2 tracker bass boat pedestal seats etc
Want to get into bass fishing and currently have a F25 yamaha 4 stroke and was considering getting a transom mounted Motorguide Varimax V40 36" (40 lbs of thrust) I like the fact that it has the digital variable control (longer battery life); the best price with shipping I have found is $160...seems like they are running on average $250.
My quesion is; is this a good choice for this boat ? I know a lot of "Bass" fisherman have nice transom mount foot pedal control trollers but they are $ even used. However I am concerned finding room to mount the TM on the transom next to the 4 stroke....do I just shift the 25HP to one side to make room ? My GPS/fishfinder will be mounted in the rear and after I choose a TM and pick up a deep cycle battery my last project is wiring up everything including motor, lights, etc. Any thoughts especially on the mount would be appreciated. Thanks.
