Electric Motor Set Up
#10
Welcome aboard and may I say you have a popular boat.
Not to blow my own horn but I have been motoring Tubes and Pontoons long before anyone else here. From float tubes to just about every pontoon out there, I put a motor on it.
I am also a fly fisher.
I pretty much started the idea to turn the motor head around and use feet to steer.
BUT, I row to out of the way fishing spots then use the motor for smaller more subtle maneuvering.
You can troll with the motor and leaves you with much more hands free. Plus you can land the fish while still moving.
Extending the handle can be nice as well.
My preferred fishing boat is very hard to reach the motor so I have learned to use that.
One other thing, I found also as far as trolling, sometimes the oar strokes seem to trigger bites as well, so always have oars even with motor.
ONE MORE piece of advice, I put a removeable pin through the motorhead bolt, so I can turn the motor either way very quickly as we also use them on a boat.
All that is left is deep cycle battery and licensing...then FISH ON.
