2020 freedom 235 with a windless however looking to see if it's possible to add a trolling motor to the bow. Most of our time with the family is spent fishing in the ICW and it would likely save a lot of time and fights with my wife. I've been told that the windlass would need to be removed to...

I’m looking at a 215 GW freedom and I would use it for fishing and family fun. Has anyone seen a 9.9 kicker on the 215? I searched and have had no luck finding anyone who mounted one. I have seen some with front electric trolling motors but that is not my preferred option.

...ass when conditions permit, but best ride in 1.5’ chop was found at 28 mph (3500 rpm). Casting deck is huge with plenty of room for a trolling motor without interfering with bow seating when stowed. Side steps up to casting deck are helpful. Pic below shows casting deck with optional...

...and the rear seat comfort of the 231 vs the 251. Here's a couple pics of the boat we sea trialed and bought. The color is Sea Glass. You can see it best on the trailer photo. The boat is at the dealerhip having additional equipment installed (chartplotter, trolling motor, Power-Poles, VHF...

...the outside islands, then creep inside and fish the mangroves, bays, and creek mouths (16" draft). We're adding a Power-Pole Move trolling motor on the bow and Power-Pole Blades on the stern. When the grandkids are with us, we've got a beach buggy with power adjustable lounge seating up...

...vented space. I sometimes overnight in the cabin so I really don’t want to change anything structurally about it but also def need the trolling motor. Huge thanks for the response and any help you can give is much appreciated. I live in Char NC and keep the boat in Georgetown SC. Thanks...

Greetings all, I have a 2002 Seafarer 226 and I am wanting to install a trolling motor. Thanks to all the previous comments I feel good about the location of the trolling motor itself but need some advice on best place to put the battery and charger. My guy who is going to do the work wanted...

Hello everyone, buying a 257 and wanted to know if anyone here that has a 257 have installed an i-pilot or trolling motor on their bow to keep the boat locked on a fishing spot. 1) what length did you use? 2) which model did you go with and why? Thanks in advance Armando

I mounted a Minn Kota Terrova on my Tournament 225, but the lifting eye was in the way of the release pedal on the trolling motor. I found a retractable lifting eye and it did the trick! I was afraid I was going to have to cover the hole when I removed the lifting eye, but I’m glad that I didn’t...

...installed are the same as i would had have installed, so i just have to figure out where i install my GSD26 and maybe a MSC 10. Well and then the trolling motor, fortunately the seller made already a project by a installer so i just need to talk with the installer about time frame and $$$. Chris

Wow! Thank you for the advice! Much appreciated! I picked up the boat last Thursday and took it out for a spin. I do like the joystick for docking. It seemed a little easier than turning the helm. I have a lot to learn, but I think the learning curve will be steep. I’ll keep an eye out for a...

...will likely not be there while fishing. That results in some consternation that could be remedied with a remote like with an electric trolling motor. On the other hand you will not have the weight of the batteries necessary for an electric motor. When using fishpoint you do need to set it...

...just to install the Garmin MFD and 3 hours for the transducer, another 7 hours for the radio and 5 hours for the radar? Also, on the trolling motor, it looks like they charged you twice for the hours at 8 hours times two? I again can't imagine that it would take a dealership 16 hours to...

Something funky going on with the trolling motor cables…

I will definitely post my experience with it. I pick up the boat next week. The dealership is going to take me out for a day and show me how everything works. That’s great advice on being able to maneuver without the joystick. I’m a pilot, so that makes perfect sense to me. We have to learn how...

...you to keep your nav lights and agree that blocking the anchor locker is not such a big deal. That the motor is offset slightly hasn't mattered in the boats I have trolling motors on. Don't know if that motor needs a stabilizer on the shaft but looks like you could attack to the rail if needed.

I agree! If you can share installation pics, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm installing a Garmin 75" on my Fisherman 216 today.
