I looked into it for a long time. The advantages are endless. But I was looking into a lot of different types of propelled motors I could use in the back. The one your talking about I think just goes one direction. I don't think it has a reverse.i considered an old terrova but no matter how I figured it I couldn't find a place I would like to mount it. Min kotta has another motor out now that serves as a kicker motor but I forget why but somehow I hit a dead end there too. One of the biggest advantages i thinking was shallow water rigging. I'm a firm believer that fish are being spoiled by the boat and the silent stalker is awesome but at some point there hearing that trolling motor as well. A couple weeks ago I was in a about 16 inches of water and I spooked a fish out of a stake bed. I saw the stakes erratically bounce as she maneuvered thru. Crazy enough I stuck a minnow tipped jig right in front of her and she inhaled it as she was fleeing! Ha. This happened as soon as I turned the trolling motor on...
