I had the control board fail on my minnkota few months pas warranty. Ended up using a pwm off amazon to repair it because minnkota wanted 130$ for theirs. Then i removed motor and did pedal drive. Like that better I like your plywood idea on floor
I also hooked up a pwm for mine and I really like it. The steering situation I'm still trying to figure it out. lol I've tried a couple different ways but also end up not liking how it works. Pedal drive, I like that idea. How did you do it?
That is a sweet set up. I have a Fish cat OutKast 10 foot boat that I want to rig with a downrigger. I have a trance amount. I want to get a trolley motor for do you recommend the 55 thrust? How fast does your boat go? Thank you
Thanks, it works well for me. I like the 55lb thrust the best. It’s a little heavier but it moves the pontoon pretty good with all my gear. I have clocked my speed at 2-3mph.
I really like it. Breaks down and fits in the trunk if needed. The only bad thing about this is the set up time. I need a small light weight trailer for it.
@@F-N-C heck ya, most of the largies spawned already, sight fishing was fun. The Colorado sure offers advantages over a sit in. Plan on making any videos of new mods? I like your rod holder placement, and leaves a good spot for mounting other accessories. I recently got my Garmin striker 4 properly mounted and connected to a noqua battery pack,(so I can switch easy to my sit in).
Love the plywood idea, good for heavier equipment 👌
Thanks! It works great too.

That looks like it’s working really well. Thanks! I’m going to see if I can make that happen. Trolling motors and batteries are just too heavy.
@@F-N-C yup. I still have a small battery for fish finder but pedal drive allows me to go more places and don't have to register pay the state.
Yeah I hear that.

I have been looking at this and the Old Town Canoe. The canoe I take the kid out, so no decisions have been made. LOL

@@F-N-C do you use a compressor or manual pump or both to inflate the pontoons?
@@fatmanshenanigans both
@@F-N-C That has been the theme I have heard. Get most of the air in, then finish with the manual pump.
@@fatmanshenanigans Yeah that’s what I do.
You float any rivers with moderate rapids? I'm looking to start floating the N. Santiam.
I do, I’ve been down the McKenzie River multiple times. It’s not too bad. You have a kayak or pontoon?
@@F-N-C Outcast Clearwater 1 person raft and AIRE whitewater kayak.
@@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 Nice!
How did the trolling motor go? Did you mount the battery under the seat? I have an XTS with some mods
It went well. Only used it once since. Planning on using it more this summer. I also made a steering unit for it.

I will have a video of the steering mod I made for it soon. I was just sight fishing last Friday for bass, caught 1 saw many. Lol
No no no! Replacement bladders can not be found. Do not buy!
Lucky I have 2 extra just incase. Got them about 2 years ago.
