trolling moter rope tricks

[Rob Mak]

i was out err scratching an itch as it were this morning. on a local pay lake.-7 bucks to launch-just doing the normal run and gun style fishing. about 11 am i was going to do a short hop to a cove opening. i reached down and gave the tm rope a pull. i came back with a handle and a chunk of rope.OH ****!!! seeing i was on a roll catching 5 bass. it really sucked having to go to the launch. after i got the boat home. i ran down to the huge city of denton during rush hour-thats 2 cars and a dog-i went to a local chain saw shop and got me 8 feet of #6 nylon pull rope. ok it aint pretty it was white but it is the same size as the factory pull rope that cost 20 bucks from moter guide. i got all 8 feet for $7.50 all i had to do was re run the rope and cut it off. mind you that was the toughest part of the whole thing .
