I tried my trolling motor out and wish I had gotten one a little bigger. It worked fine just the same for me though. I tried it yesterday with my grandson hoping he would catch something with me. Niether him or I caught a fish though. It was a pain trying to run it from the transcom in the wind we had here. So I took it and tried it again this morning up to West Grand Lake as the ice finally went out of it yesterday afternoon. I got tired of running it from down in the back so I drop my big motor down. I found out no matter which direction I tried to turn it in it went straight with my other motor. That is when I found out I could steer the boat from the driver's seat.. I ended up catching 2 nice landlocks but couldn't try it on the lake trout as the wind had come up again. All and all it was a great day out there..
