Buying Guidelines For The Quick Release Trolling Motor Mount

By Sandra White


The weight that fishers put on the deck does not guarantee an optimal position for casting. Thanks to the invention of the motor mount, fishers can comfortably stand or sit on their deck as they make their casting. Anyone who intends to purchase such a product should consider a few factors to guarantee its efficiency. The following are guidelines for purchasing a quick release trolling motor mount to think through.

Check the kind of thrust you expect. The sort of push you expect is arguably the most vital aspect to consider. The thrust is the standard measure of power needed for the motor. The heavier and larger the boat the more the push that one needs to achieve the right results. The basic rule in measuring the thrust you need is five pounds of thrust for every two hundred pounds of weight.

Take note of its volts. Electric trolling motors have three separate power systems. These systems include the twelve, twenty-four and the thirty-six volts systems. The twelve volts engine is the most inexpensive but does not offer enough thrust to last for a long time. The twenty-four and thirty- six volts engine can provide hassle-free boating for quite an extended period.

Acquaint with your style and condition in fishing. It is hard to choose the right thrust or voltage unless you are familiar with your angling style and condition. For instance, if you love casting in waters with quite a lot of currents, look for an engine that has high voltage and thrust. If you like smooth currents, then you have to stick to a motor with minor voltage and thrust.

Consider the shaft length. The shaft length affects the equipment you buy. If you want to use a bow-mounted motor you have to measure the distance between the top of your bow and the waterline. Those who want to use the transom measure the length between the top of the transom to the waterline. After measuring this distance, you have to add about eighteen inches to guarantee the best performance.

Decide on the foot or hand control. The hand or foot controls have their pros and cons. For instance, the foot control frees up the hands which one can use in fishing but has a much slower response in some types of boats. The hand-controlled type has a high response period and does not clutter the deck. However, it does not free the hands and allows them to engage in fishing.

Look for a mount with new technology. These kinds of products have adopted different technologies to make them effective. This technology should make them useful enough. Check whether the motor has a digital display, self-directional motors, and an in-built battery gauge to guarantee its effectiveness.

Beware of your seller. The kind of seller that you decide on has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the product you choose to purchase. A good seller should be in a position to advise you about different aspect related to the consideration you have to make. You should as well ensure that the seller has reasonable prices to make the product affordable.
