Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket For Your Fishing Boat

By Gregory Hayes


If you have always been into fishing, then you need to know about motors. A Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket, why it is used as well as how it is used. It has both a controller as well as a propeller, because it is a motor that is electronic. This is a must-have if you are always on the move, trying to catch something in the water. It is placed on the stern of your boat and from there you can take the lead.

There is an area on the boat known as the transom. This is where this piece of equipment is normally placed. While it is great, sometimes it has to be taken out from the water. This is due to the fact that it hinders speed and makes the boat drag. Other than this, this machine is great for when fishing, particularly when you must throw in a bait.

It was created in the year 1934 by a man who lived in Fargo North Dakota His name was O. G Schmidt. He created it in the following ways, he took three things: A propeller, a ford model and a shaft. He went on to call it a Minn Kota, considering his company was based near the Dakota border. The company still produces a major part of these products.

Modern ones use a brushed Dc electric motor. They come in 12 volt deep cycle batteries 24 volt and 36 volt, to take advantage of 12 volt batteries produced particularly for marine use. The mechanism is at the end of the shaft inside a compartment that does not allow water to seep in. The propeller is placed directly on the propshaft.

There are three kinds of these, each with their own specific controls. They come in a foot, remote as well as handle control. The one you control by foot has a kind of pedal that is built within, it also helps you manage the speed. The one you control by hand comes with some kind of knob to help you control the speed. With the foot control one, the pedal is also the on or off switch.

The foot controlling system is better than the hand control because it doesn t need the use of hands. And it makes it easier for you to fish while moving the boat. It s only flaw is the hand-foot coordination which tends to be a bit off due to rough waters and severe weather conditions. The best controlling system is the remote system. Though expensive, it is the most efficient and give you more time to fish. It uses a remote transmitter or pedal transmitter.

Another thing to consider when purchasing one of these, is the one that powers by gasoline. The real hiccup is the fact that it mostly relies on control of the hand. So if you don t want to constantly have to use your hands for something other than fishing, don t purchase it.

At the end of it all, remember what you really want. You want the absolute best experience as you fish. There is another one that is known as the bow, it is harder to place on the boat. Usually purchased by owners of medium and large boats. It is better in that it pulls the boat really well.
