Fishing Frenzy

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.

There is an area on the boat known as the transom. This is where this piece of equipment is normally placed. While it is great, sometimes it has to be taken out from the water. This is due to the fact that it hinders speed and makes the boat drag. Other than this, this machine is great for when fishing, particularly when you must throw in a bait.

Something that works this well, might make you wonder where it comes from. It s inventor was Schmidt O. G who lived in Fargo North Dakota. He created this machinery in 1934, at the time it was known as the Minn kota. He used the following things to put it together: a propeller, shaft the can easily bend and a Ford model.

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.

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.

At the end of it all, remember what you really want. You want the absolute best experience as you fish. There is another one that is known as the bow, it is harder to place on the boat. Usually purchased by owners of medium and large boats. It is better in that it pulls the boat really well.
