o if you are a fly fisher, buy the quick release mount. You can then take motor off and have a clean snag free surface. If you fly fish and use the TM at same time, then get a basket for catching the fly line. o I opted for a starboard mount as my Push Pole was already on the starboard side and I didn't want to clutter up both sides of the bow. As a right-hander, and a newbie fly fisherman, I wanted to keep the port side uncluttered, especially when I use a stripping basket.

o I use a MinnKota RT55 AP/CP on my HPX-T. It's a 12 volt motor, so only one battery is necessary. If I used the motor all day in heavy currents, it's possible that a 24 volt motor would be better. There are lots of opinions on the relative advantages of a tiller control motor versus the Auto Pilot/Co-Pilot. These can all be boiled down to "Keep it Simple" vs. "Great features". o I have the MinnKota 55 compact mount. See similar questions...

Not recommended, you can burn a trolling motor up like this from over voltage. You need a power converter for the appropriate wattage, that converts AC to 12 V DC power. Email me for more info. See similar questions...

To answer a question with another question, why? Why keep the heavy trolling motor and the one or two heavy batteries in the boat when the fan will do everything the trolling motor will do. If the fan will not do it, then why did you get such a small HP engine? I can see if the boat is going to be using for daytime fishing (rod & reel) but a true bowfishing rig would have no need for one after the fan was added. See similar questions...

You can store the battery on the floor of the motormount and transom boats. For the Paddleski, there is a motormount board that the battery sits on the side. See similar questions...

o Gatorgringo made the following schematic: Note that this a 2 bank charger setup with no charger wiring for the starting battery. See similar questions...

But this question is a bit irrelevant once you consider the question, it's like asking "Will I have to shake hands if I choose to live in New York (Paris, London, Santiago, etc)? Of course, it would be very rude to do otherwise. Do not forget it's a greeting, a "hand shake", with no religious significance what-so-ever, so don't be shy. What is a Sensei? Sen means "before", Sei means "life, birth, living or lived". Thus a Sensei is someone who has experienced something before you. See similar questions...

Trolling is acting or being a Troll. A Troll is someone that lives under a bridge that purposely fishes and attacks unsuspecting gullibly goats. A troll baits or antagonizes gullibly people to responded to their remarks, hence why it's called Fishing. The Trolls remarks often generate a Flame war to purposely tie up the system in use. Most Trolls crave flame because in their pathetic life no one talks to them. So they feel that this is a service for talking and being a complete jackass. See similar questions...

o Hobo replies "I drew up this simplified drawing of how you can wire your vessel to allow you to use one of your trolling motor batteries as an alternant general service battery." See similar questions...

o The Power Winch plug. It can be bought from Mike at Master Repair. He quit using the Marinco plugs. o Be very careful with those trolling motor plugs. I recently had mine catch fire while on the water. I now have a new item on my check list. "Read instructions on how to operate the fire extinguisher before every trip". I had minor damage to the boat around the anchor locker. See similar questions...

The selection of bow grip materials is varied but the top sellers are the "Shur-Grip" and the adhesive-backed leather grips. The "Shur-Grip" is a seamless rubber tube that rolls onto your longbow (and some recurves) and stretches to fit the curves of the grip like a skintight glove. These grips offer solid non-slip positioning in the hand, they're impervious to water or snow, they're easy to install, and they're reasonably priced. See similar questions...

Motor installation is a matter for individual choice. While many builders have chosen to use outboard motors, others have chosen diesel inboards, or air cooled diesel or petrol motors on deck. Linkages vary from sail drive arrangements, through normal propellor shafts to hydraulic drives. The size ofthe motor to install depends on the characteristics of the motor, all up weight of the finished boat, choice of single or dual motor installation, and many other variables.

The Town permits canoes, kayaks, john boats (not to exceed 14 feet) and rowing skulls on the Apex Community Park Lake. Boaters must purchase a Town of Apex boating permit in order to launch. Permits may be obtained at the Apex Community Center. Electric trolling motors are allowed. Gas operated motors are prohibited. Boats must be hand-carried to the launch area near the picnic shelters in Apex Community Park, which is accessible only from the Laura Duncan Road entrance. See similar questions...

We recommend that you install a hydrofoil on the outboard motor in order to improve speed and boat handling. A Hydrofoil will help put the boat on plane much faster and will help maintain the planning effect at lower speed. See picture below, on a left without a hydrofoil, on a right with a hydrofoil installed. See similar questions...
