Hi SES, Did you ever install the trolling motor? I'm looking to do the same thing on my Fisherman 216 that I just bought. I'd appreciate any tips. I've noticed several people recommending that the batteries be placed in the center console head. Is there any reason that the battery(ies)...

You saved a bunch, I would rather have a good trolling motor with spot lock.

Can anyone recommend a bow mount gps trolling motor for my spirit 175.

...tempted to keep this boat and go that route. I could repower, clean up transom, rebuild trailer (needs leafs & bunks), and add a trolling motor for ~$25k. No hassle of selling boat, buying another (used with potential unknown issues), etc. Obviously have to be careful what I put into this bc...

I don't think I'm the only one who wants to know what 14 Gradys you have had and what you run now. Talk about a learning experience.

...different with twins and I would not own it with a single screw. With twin s on that boat you don’t need helm master or a thruster. Spend 1/3 that $ and get an electric trolling motor for spot lock if you want it. Get the right tow vehicle. I’ve had 14 Grady’s. The 232 is my all time...

Maui Triangle Trip Report (2nd outer island trip:) Ended up making a four day onboard camping trip labour day 2022. Conditions were pretty favorable overall. Had a lot of great lessons learned from the first trip, the biggest was to pack less. With just my girlfriend and I on my boat, and two...

I added autopilot to my 2019 GW 216 Fisherman. It sure saves me gas money and time on trips. I am looking for info on putting in a trolling motor on the bow so I can spot lock onto fishing structure. Does anyone have any advice? Tight lines and following seas, Bill

Seems like everyone has them now. Anybody have recommendations, advice on size or brand? Minn kota, rhodan? and the biggest question, pictures of mounting on a walkaround. Thanks in advance

Hi, We are new to owning our Grady White 2001 192 Tournament. Installing a MinnKota I-pilot trolling motor this week. She is almost completely up to date. I look forward to being a member here.

What size/type of motor? How are your batteries wired? Do you have a diagram like POP? I have 4 batteries in my Islander. I had problems with low voltage warnings after for a few hours. I run all electronics all the time and typically have a livewell and a bait tank running pumps. Pumps may be...

I don't know if the noise of the helm master will ruin your fishing (per comment above), but assuming it doesn't impact your fishing, I would prefer it over the auto-pilot and trolling motor.

Trolling motor is going to require some LithiumFe batteries that will take up space and need to be charged by a special charger. A 28 is a big boat for a bow mounted electric but idk the performance of a Rhodan. In theory, the Helm Master also gives you docking manueverability. You're in the...

...new GW owner. I have a 2021 285 Freedom. with the new 300's IDES motors. Currently boat does not have helm master or auto pilot or trolling motor. I need the auto pilot and be able to hold positions for fishing without physical anchor. My question is, should I pay the close to 18k for Helm...

Hmmm. I'm going to make a note of that and try it next time!

As already mentioned, Boat type makes no difference to the fish. But here is a deadly combo I'd suggest: Stretch 25 or Nomad 220 on a 20 foot long 60 lb mono leader, tied to a 8 oz trolling drail, connected to 60 lb BRAID. (you need the braid to allow the rig to cut down into the water and run...

You might get better mileage with one motor up when trolling. The non running motor when left down can add drag

nope.

...now I am going with a Robalo 206 to get back in the shallows but I will switch back to GW in a heartbeat if you make the boat I want. Trolling motor, power poll, center console with some shade and a couple of live wells. Don't want a flats boat. Too rough a ride and to easy to fall...

Mine does that as well, especially if it's an earlier/cooler morning when I'm out fishing and haven't run the boat in a week or two. I heard that especially the older vintage F225's and so forth will do it because of how they're designed, not sure if there's any truth to that, but I was worried...
