Trolling motor troubles
It seems that shaft lengths have gotten longer on the new motors. The one I'm interested in has a 54" shaft. The one on my boat has a 42" shaft and when is in stowed position sits flush to the side of the boat. My old motor is a 24V set up and I want to keep it that way. I called minn kota about the bolt pattern and the lady there said it would match my old pattern and she also said that the new motor's stow rest(for lack of a better word) was a bit longer but I dont know which direction it was lengthened. I am afraid that the new motor will stick out beyond the side of the boat by about a foot or so. This is the shortest shaft minn kota makes that is 24V and has autopilot. I would appreciate any suggestions any guys would have to remedy this problem. Thanks. CF
