Hello fellows looking at a boat and it has a Recessed trolling motor control, never used one, what are the benefits of it. Looks like it’s a trip hazard to me.

Keeps both feet even instead of standing like Captain Morgan!!
Lot easier on your back and better for balance.
You will like it.

Thanks chuck, it will be my first time ever using one like that. Just ordered me a new tracker today.

Good deal!!!
Congratulations.
What did you get??
I was at Cabelas in Louisville last week and live 10 minutes from Bass Pro here in Clarksville, In.
I’m thinking they have a few boats in stock.
Nothing close to you?
What’s the wait time?

I didn't think I would like a recessed trolling motor pedal but I really like it a lot. I fish sitting down, double knee replacements, and I don't think I would be nearly as comfortable without the recessed pedal.

Hey Danny,
Do me a favor…….
A friend got a brand new Tracker last year and my buddy was putting him in for the maiden trip. Same ramp I put in at today…
Anyway it’s really not a super steep ramp.
You know what coming.
Rusty the owner in the boat and as my buddy was backing down the ramp he braked. Brand new boat slid half off trailer and sitting on skeg with nose up in the air. After winching the boat back down the only damage was a broken skeg.
Just watch out the first few times you launch because it may be a tracker thing. My buddy said he didn’t brake very hard but who knows.
Just a little heads up.

I stood up all day today and it really helps almost never use the remote for the trolling motor.

For me I never unhooked my boat until I was right at the waters edge and sometimes after we are backed in. Made it a little more tedious to unload but I was scared to death of the boat sliding off. Now I think a drotto is in our future

tether rope is the word, mine launched itself one morning without one on a steep ramp and actually backed itself out past the marina and ketched some wind and tried to head off into the open water one day !

My buddy dump a brand new triton on the ramp on its maiden voyage. He asked me how I’d been so lucky to not have it happen & I told him I don’t unhook mine until I get to the water. Lol Now that i have my bunks wrapped you dang sure better not. Lol
