CHECK IT OUT!!

[Jig-fisher]

I raise my main motor when I troll. I learned a lesson when I first used an electric motor years ago.  It was a transom mount motor and I got line wrapped in mine.  There was a prop nut I unscrewed and removed the prop to clean the line out. It was slowing my motor down and putting strain on the motor. I learned not to shut my motor off if I am trolling.  I can reduce speed, but my lines will tangle if I don't keep it on.

Now with my bow mount motor, I don't have fish near the motor because I am playing them out the back of the boat. Still leave it on as I'm playing fish.
