Thread: Engine Mount Verse Drift Socks or Chains

Would the advantages gained out weigh the expense..how much would you really need to use this option?

would you plan on running a different battery for the rear motor or would you just use your batteries you already have in the boat. im sure there are advantages to this but remember a tm does not pull very good in reverse I would think you would have to do like mo money said

For $200 i could rig something up, with new battery. When i get to fish 1.5 days a week, it makes the days available much more enjoyable to be able to control my boat when wind doesnt cooperate. plus i hate fooling with the chains and socks

i would def run a separate battery, but I want to try a 12v to see what kind of difference it makes, may have to move up to a 24v for higher winds and longer days. but with the luck ive had pulling cranks in wind on the 24v, I think they may could share batteries. Just take some research on the water

I am looking at a 55 lb thrust and it's own batt

Terry Stewart runs a Terrova on the rear of his boat. He back trolls it to get the forward speed he wants using the remote to adjust the back speed. It works like a champ for him. He has it facing backwards so the rear TM is actually pulling forward from the rear of his boat. He's a great fisherman and finished second in Grenada this past weekend.

What did you decide to do?

After talking to Terry I decided to stick with my chains.
