[quote forgiven]I already tried it and I don't like it a bit. I turned the control head around on the troller to try to "pull" me backwards and It just wanted to spin me in a circle. Huge pain. I might put the contol head back aroung to normal & try to push it forward I don't know.
Is there someway to put a mount for your troll either straight behind or in front of you? Maybe a local machine or welding shop could rig something up for you. The float tube store carries troll mounts for some models, but you would have to find something to fit a flat frame similar to yours.
I agree that the battery needs something more sturdy for the long haul. A rear deck is in order. At least enough of one to mount the battery & motor.
And I may just use the troller on the "porta-bote" folding boat & 6hp Evinrude I just scored & stick with oars & fins on the toon
] My dad just left it with me today on his way from Lake Havasu on the way home to Orofino (north Idaho). He carried it in his motor home.
I worked my way down from larger boats and still have one of the older model porta-botes sitting in my garage. Did a lot of custom work on the porta. Never looked back to this point. But who knows, maybe that will change as I get older....
