Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket For Your Fishing Boat

By Gregory Hayes


What is a trolling motor mount and what is it used for? A Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket is a self-contained unit that consists of three things. Namely, controls a propeller as well as a motor that functions via electricity. It is then placed on the fisherman s boat at the too. They are usually attached to boats used for game fishing. It s often used as another way to generate power.

It is usually mounted on what is known a which is the surface that makes up the stern of the boat. The motor is often taken out of the water whilst the boat is in motion to decrease the momentum and speed of the boat for better fishing qualities. It gives the necessary boost needed for more accurate maneuvering of the boat. This makes it efficient for the angler to be more on point when throwing your bait.

This is an invention created by a O. G Schmidt in Fargo North Dakota. He made it by putting together a Ford Model and combining it with a shaft that is not rigid and propeller. He then named it The Minn Kota. A name derived from the area which his company was based in, which is near North Dakota border. The establishment is still in production of major components of this appliance.

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 different types which are, controlled by use of a handle, controlled by use of your foot and a remote. The one that you can control by use of your hand, has some kind of a knob which allows you to adjust it. There is also a pedal that allows you to use your foot to control it, it also controls speed and the on/off option. The foot controlled ones need a specific mounting bracket that bolts it horizontally to the deck.

In order to fish you need your hands, so the hand control is a little bit inconvenient. The foot controlled one is better because then you can use your hands for catching fish. The only tough part is maneuvering through rough waters. So instead of all this manual hard work, you can get one that is remotely controlled. It is a little on the pricey side but it s worth all the fish you will be catching.

Gasoline powered ones are designed with a manual pull start system, a throttle and gear shift control fitted on the boat and a roller for steering. These are good options to pick from depending on what you re looking for and what might work best for your boat and fishing enjoyment.

But the actual best is known as the bow mount. Normally used for medium to large boat, but it is very expensive. Reasons for it to be the best is the pull of the boat instead if the pushing. This creates a much more easier steering than the others. It s bigger, better and harder to install, but it has the best fishing experience you can ask for.
