    Default New Trolling motor ?


    Long time lurker, first time poster here : ). I just got a Minn Kota Endura 36lb thrust model and have a question. Aside from locking it up is ok to leave it hooked up to the boat not covered up?

    Thanks in advance. Gotta go out and catch some fish now : )

    Welcome aboard. I wouldn't leave it on the boat like that. It would be too easy to steal. Where do you fish at?

    Not good to leave wiring exposed to sun. Wire insulation will degrade rapidly when continuously exposed to uv rays. Cover the boat with a cheap canvass and save your TM's life. MHOAO
