Any thoughts on moving the hand controlled minnkota to the front vs. the back.already set up for bow mount,no mods required.pre wired as well,can leave the battery in back.

Keith, I always liked a bow mount trolling motor. So hard to control from the back. constant over steering no matter how slight you move the tiller. Nice bunch of fish too. please post a report on your walleye trip. Fish or no fish. Good luck.

Good trip, hope the walleye outing is just as productive.

Nice bunch of fish.

Did you ever try going backwards, as long as it's not too windy it's easier to control.
