Hi Dudes. It's been a while I've not posted here. I was looking for some navigation lights, since I often come late from my fishing trips (I fish till the last...
... I have an 8hp 2 stroke on my 14' and it goes fast enough. I suspect a 6hp would be OK , but it would not be fast at all, and if loaded up may not even...
I use my 10' BP for fishing and I usually take about 3 or 4 rods with me and they get in my way and I am afraid I am going to break them or worse losing them...

Hi, I have 14' PB and 6 HP Mercury (=Tohatsu). Yesterday with two heavy man + all fishing gear (with engine total load was surely more than 250 kg) we were...
Hi Max, a bit off topic, but I wonder if you mount Minn Kota on transom next to 6 HP outboard, or you use one at the time? Tx Rgds sf ... the ... Minn ... On ...
The outboard is mounted in the center, the Minn Kota is mounted to the right of it, I sit a bit off-center towards the left. When I'm using the outboard, I...
Running electric and gas motor at the same time would just add drag to the Gas motor. The prop on the electric will only pass water up to its maximum RPM. As...
Thank you very much for your answers, I thought that I can place electro motor only at bow. Placing it next to the gas one simplifies set up a lot. The idea is...

Hi, I know about "transom-mount" and "bow-mount" motors, but I thought that PB bow mount allows for mounting "transom-mount" motor on a bow? I have actually...
I was afraid of such answer, so the question of plastic transom mount remains. Perhaps Sandy could answer it? Thank you very much rgds sf ... horizontal steel...
This is my setup for a 12ft and a 14ft PB with a bow mount. I brought the bow mount from PB. I have a Minn Kota Endura 30. The Endura 30 is a freshwater...
Hi, Thank you very much for detailed explanation. I see important difference in positioning of tiller and head depending on bow or transom use. What I still do...
The bow mount from PB can only take a bow mount motor, not a transom motor. I think that you can only use a 30 lb thrust for a bow mount motor. That is why I...
Great answer, exactly what I need, thank you very much. Almost all is clear except following: You have transom mount Minn Kota Endura 30lb, which you also...
SF, I have a mod I use for securing a transom mounted trolling motor which is needed to securely attach the motor's clamps to the plastic transom. If you are...
