Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket For Your Fishing Boat

By Gregory Hayes


If you are interested in boats, then you might be interested in engines. What a Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket is and its function. It is actually what discontinued roars in fishing competitions, it s a motor that requires electricity to work. It also makes use of propellers and controllers. It is placed on most small fisher s boats at the bow of the boat.

You will find it mounted on what is called a transom next to the outboard motor. A transom is a surface area forming the stern of a boat. The motor is lifted from the water when the boat is in motion to avoid or at least decrease drag. It provides auxiliary power for accuracy when maneuvering the boat. Making it easier for the angler to be precise when throwing bait.

This is an invention created by a O. G Schmidt in Fargo North Dakota. He made it by putting together a Ford Model and combining it with a shaft that is not rigid and propeller. He then named it The Minn Kota. A name derived from the area which his company was based in, which is near North Dakota border. The establishment is still in production of major components of this appliance.

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.

Since these motors have been modernized, there are various types of ways to control it. The three most used types of controlling systems are hand, foot and via remote. With the hand control, you are able to control both the speed and the steering which is clamped to the boat. For the foot controls, there is a fitted pedal which is mounted to the deck and controls the speed and the starter mechanism.

In order to fish you need your hands, so the hand control is a little bit inconvenient. The foot controlled one is better because then you can use your hands for catching fish. The only tough part is maneuvering through rough waters. So instead of all this manual hard work, you can get one that is remotely controlled. It is a little on the pricey side but it s worth all the fish you will be catching.

The first and best designs are the gasoline powered models. But they aren t really as efficient as the newly created models. It uses a pull-start mechanism and requires mostly hand control. The above mentioned models are some best models you can find, if it s all based on the experience you would want to have when you go fishing.

The Bow mount is the most popular one for serious fishermen with medium to large boats. They simply offer superior control. This is because a bow mount pulls the boat through the water instead of pushing it around making steering significantly better. If this is important to you. The Bow mount is your guy. Bows are more expensive and also harder to install than transom mounts. In the and, the size of your boat will determine the best fit for you.
