Default Ok maybe I'm not use to it

I posted a few weeks back about my trolling motor finally laying down on me...Well I upgraded to the the MinnKota All Terran 24 Volt foot controlled 65 lbs thrust with a sissor arm lift ..now that being said

I have always owned Motor Guide and this trolling motor seems huge to big for my 285 XL PRO Startos

Are my eyes just not use to the size or brand or is this motor you think to big for my boat ???


Later Will

You'll never hear anyone say "Man, I wish I'd gotten a smaller trolling motor. This one pushes the boat way too fast."

you'll get used to it and like everyone else mentioned, you never want a smaller trolling motor.

I know what your saying Tennessee, your not the only one that would rather have the lower profile TM bracket. I do like my old MotorGuide.
