Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket And Its Usage

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.

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.

Due to a advancements in technology, today s motors use a brushed DC electric motor. There is a range of 12 volt deep cycle batteries which were for marine use, and goes on to 24-36 volt batteries. It s components are connected in a water-resistant compartment which is at the end of the shaft. The propeller is then placed exactly 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.

There are benefits to the foot controller, because it allows you to have your hands to yourself for fishing. The only disadvantage is the struggle of hand and foot coordination especially in rough water and unstable weather conditions with lots of wind. Wireless control, which is available on the high end late models, has servo controlled speed and steering. These respond to a wire device on a foot pedal.

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.
