Electric trolling motor

The main reason I would want the 160 is to fast troll steelhead up to 3.5 mph into the wind if needed. My boat, engine and gas are 5,000 pounds. Add a crew and tackle and we are near 6500. It sounds like you really like yours and you have reaped the benefit of saving on fuel and engine hours. I like it alot. I sure do appreciate the feedback Manx. What speeds are you trolling at and do you need to manuever much with the wheel or does it track straight?

Spoontang,

Right now I'm trolling at 1.6 to 2.0 with crank baits
this spring I was doing 1.2 to 1.4

Mines on a 90 hp Tiller so there's no wheel
But I have a friend that has one on a wheel boat
No problems at all staying straight
