    Default trolling motors


    My old trolling motor acted like it is going south on me. It had no umph with charged batteries yesterday. Am asking what is a good fairly reasonable trolling motor? I can't afford the remote ones or such but just a good one to get around. I have a 18' charger bass boat....thanks Lonnie

    I've always felt that is best to buy the biggest one can afford. It's better to have more than you need than not have enough.
