I just got new trolling motor, and discovered that my hands don't fit the handle. Too much like shovel or post hole diggers. Thought I would post for the young ones to see. It was made back in the 20's in Atlanta,Ga, called Man-U TrollAttachment 61429
that is a treasure.
That's pretty cool!
Never seen anything like it. Pretty cool.;)
That would look nice on that wood hull boat. Keep it in the family, never sell it
The handle on the motor turns the prop? that looks a little too much like work to me too. Thank God my dad didn't have one of those when I was a kid...I would have one strong arm. LOL!
I have one of those also. It works great on my canoe, had it for years. It has 2 one way clutches, turns the prop both up and down stroke.
got a blade on it for sure

I don't think it was ever used. Something to hang up in the shop.
Wow! What do you reckon something like that "antique" would be worth? I'd hold onto it if I were your!
What is that, a minChina brand? How fast will that push your boat? How long does the battery last, will I guess that depends on the age of the battery. Where in the world did you find that?
It needs to be a young one to handle that thing------I remember some dealings with paddling boats when my old motor stopped.----I do not want to try and remember those days again.
