Anyone Need a Bow Mount Hand Control Trolling Motor?

[Jerry Blake]

I'm getting ready to replace my 70-pound Maxxum 3X Trolling Motor if anyone needs it. It's still very serviceable but has had a lot of use (3-years in June) and I need to replace it before I wear it out. I'm sure it would last a Weekend Angler many years and replacement parts are available if needed.

I think it retailed for about $900 but I would be happy to get a couple hundred for it. The direction arrow doesn't turn but other than that it is in good working order. I'm still using it ever day so it won't be available until I get a replacement in. Shipping would be a bit expensive but maybe someone that's coming to Crappie Camp or doesn't live too far away could use it.

I found out today that Minn Kota is no longer offering 3X steering on any of their bow-mounted trolling motors. So I think I am going to get a Riptide 80 Hand Control with Lift Assist, which makes it a lot easier to lift the TM to stow it.

I want it.

Well, grubby called and snatched it up so it's sold. I guess I need to go into the used trolling motor business.

Sorry slipcork the cell was faster than the p.m. As soon as I seen the new post come up I called him.

I think it has a 52-inch shaft, which would probably be a bit short for Slipcork's pontoon boat anyway.
