Explaining Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket

By Gregory Hayes


If you are interested in boats, then you might be interested in engines. What a Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket is and its function. It is actually what discontinued roars in fishing competitions, it s a motor that requires electricity to work. It also makes use of propellers and controllers. It is placed on most small fisher s boats at the bow of the boat.

There is an area on the boat known as the transom. This is where this piece of equipment is normally placed. While it is great, sometimes it has to be taken out from the water. This is due to the fact that it hinders speed and makes the boat drag. Other than this, this machine is great for when fishing, particularly when you must throw in a bait.

This is an invention created by a O. G Schmidt in Fargo North Dakota. He made it by putting together a Ford Model and combining it with a shaft that is not rigid and propeller. He then named it The Minn Kota. A name derived from the area which his company was based in, which is near North Dakota border. The establishment is still in production of major components of this appliance.

Modern ones use a brushed Dc electric motor. They come in 12 volt deep cycle batteries 24 volt and 36 volt, to take advantage of 12 volt batteries produced particularly for marine use. The mechanism is at the end of the shaft inside a compartment that does not allow water to seep in. The propeller is placed directly on the propshaft.

There are three kinds of these, each with their own specific controls. They come in a foot, remote as well as handle control. The one you control by foot has a kind of pedal that is built within, it also helps you manage the speed. The one you control by hand comes with some kind of knob to help you control the speed. With the foot control one, the pedal is also the on or off switch.

The foot controlling system is better than the hand control because it doesn t need the use of hands. And it makes it easier for you to fish while moving the boat. It s only flaw is the hand-foot coordination which tends to be a bit off due to rough waters and severe weather conditions. The best controlling system is the remote system. Though expensive, it is the most efficient and give you more time to fish. It uses a remote transmitter or pedal transmitter.

The first and best designs are the gasoline powered models. But they aren t really as efficient as the newly created models. It uses a pull-start mechanism and requires mostly hand control. The above mentioned models are some best models you can find, if it s all based on the experience you would want to have when you go fishing.

At the end of it all, remember what you really want. You want the absolute best experience as you fish. There is another one that is known as the bow, it is harder to place on the boat. Usually purchased by owners of medium and large boats. It is better in that it pulls the boat really well.
