That is so he has one foot operated for Jig fishing and one remote operated to troll with. The new Ultrex solves the need for 2 trolling motors. You can operate it with a foot control or remote, best of both worlds.
Some guys that use 2 have quick detach motors and just switch motors rather than having 2 mounted all the time.
I thought the same thing slabmeister but why did he have them both deployed at the same time? Maybe the cable steer motor would be in the way of rod holders in the up position???
Not sure about that, but I fish some with his old fishing partner and his boat is set up same way. He uses the foot operated for jig fishing and Terrova for pulling cranks and trolling. I watched the show but didn't notice both being deployed. I will rewatch it! Lol!
i think Kent reads the board he may chime in, if not I will text him and ask if he was running both of them.
The only thing I can think of is more speed, But I'm just guessing.
My Ulterra will almost pull knee boarders. Can't imagine needing more speed. Interesting thought though.

If fished with Larry Holmes and he runs his TM on the back of his War Eagle to cutdown on noise and eliminate spooking shallow fish. Cool idea but Hell I can hardly figure out how to interpret my side imaging more or less drive backwards when trying to go forward. Left is right and right is left. Throw in a few aluminum muscle relaxer and I would be spinning in a circle.
His transducer must have been on his foot controlled unit and he was power trolling with his remote unit. Therefore he had to deploy foot unit to use his graph.
Hey guys, I have 2 trolling motors with removable brackets for multiple techniques. I use the Fourtrexx Foot Control for spider rigging brush/stakes, dock shooting, and any type of finesse fishing. My transducer is mounted on the Fourtrexx so I was using down imaging and side imaging that particular day to locate shad and fish schools. I have the Terrova for long lining and cranking. I have a new Ultrexx on order which will eliminate the need for two trolling motors. I can't wait to get it! Good fishing gents!
