two trolling motors

I shoot docks about 95% of time. Im in an aluminum boat and the wind is rough when trying stay in front of docks so both people can shoot. I have a terrova on front and thinking about adding one to the port rear corner of boat for the back seater to run just for positioning boat. Has anyone tried this or even think it will be advantageous? My boat is 18.5 feet with a 70 four stroke so The extra weigh isnt gonna make a noticeable change in speed.

Thought about it, but never did it. I now have a double seat setup so both anglers can sit up front & cast/shoot ... and that's cheaper than a second trolling motor + battery, and I don't have to worry about the other angler moving the boat "incorrectly" and messing it up for both of us :Doh: :Rofl

get a electric anchor winch....anchor the back with it ...then spot lock the front TM

Thought about it also. What would be perfect is an I pilot set up to control both motors. Probably not enough interest to get a trolling motor company to produce it. Possible a Pro Nav type control that could be added to two motors

The front will be 80 # terrova and rear will be 35# terrova. some of the docks I shoot are in 60 feet of water so the anchor idea would be time consuming..

Both I pilots? Seems like they would fight one another.

Hey Dave. Cane Pole works one up for someone a while back that did what you’re after. Hit him up and I’m sure he’ll be able to give you the skinny better than I.

both are I pilots but different generations so may work ok. I hardly ever use the remote for front TM. the rear one would only be used when needed, mainly tournaments.

I was thinks of something like a bow thruster mounted at the back. I only need left and right movement to position the back of the boat. That could be achieved by running a prop in forward or reverse.

I already have the extra terrova and the wife don't want to mess with the rear TM so I can run it remotely from the front. I will try it and report back.

I bet it would be snazzy for side pulling as well If you ever decided to come over to the dark side of crappie fishing.

Interesting,

I saw a big bass boat the other day he had one up front and a terrova on both rear corners.... I think he was using his a little different though I think his were going to be used like the drift paddles
