Explaining Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket

By Gregory Hayes


What is a trolling motor mount and what is it used for? A Trolling Motor Mounting Bracket is a self-contained unit that consists of three things. Namely, controls a propeller as well as a motor that functions via electricity. It is then placed on the fisherman s boat at the too. They are usually attached to boats used for game fishing. It s often used as another way to generate power.

It is usually mounted on what is known a which is the surface that makes up the stern of the boat. The motor is often taken out of the water whilst the boat is in motion to decrease the momentum and speed of the boat for better fishing qualities. It gives the necessary boost needed for more accurate maneuvering of the boat. This makes it efficient for the angler to be more on point when throwing your bait.

It was created in the year 1934 by a man who lived in Fargo North Dakota His name was O. G Schmidt. He created it in the following ways, he took three things: A propeller, a ford model and a shaft. He went on to call it a Minn Kota, considering his company was based near the Dakota border. The company still produces a major part of these products.

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.

Gasoline powered ones are designed with a manual pull start system, a throttle and gear shift control fitted on the boat and a roller for steering. These are good options to pick from depending on what you re looking for and what might work best for your boat and fishing enjoyment.

But the actual best is known as the bow mount. Normally used for medium to large boat, but it is very expensive. Reasons for it to be the best is the pull of the boat instead if the pushing. This creates a much more easier steering than the others. It s bigger, better and harder to install, but it has the best fishing experience you can ask for.
