Mounting my newly aquired TZur trolling motor.
I ran into problems, but I finally got it mounted. Biggest problem was that the trolling motor was almost as long as the boat and not many mounting options...lol... I did a lot of "sifering" before I drilled the holes. The new troller was 24v, so I had to add another battery. The troller called for a 50 amp circuit breaker, so I put in a resetable breaker which can also be used as a switch. This is a digital troller and the manuf recommends removing power when not in use. I added a Dual Pro 20 amp on board charger so I wouldn't have to hassle with wagging battery chargers around. Paul and Vonna stopped by, so Paul helped me mount some of this stuff. Thanks Paul. I still haven't put it in the water, but the motor spins when I push the button. This is a good sign..ha.. This will give me a good reason to go fishing this coming weekend (like I need one). I am going from a 36 lb. thrust 12v troller, to a 71 lb. thrust 24v troller. Paul thinks it will put my little boat on plane. One thing for sure, I want have to run for cover as soon as I used to have to do when the southwest and northeast winds come up here.
I figured it cost me about 400 bucks to get the troller mounted. Lucky me. I won enough at Tunica this past week to cover the cost of mounting all this troller stuff...
