Engine mount Minn Kota trolling motors.
My first question is if anyone has used these type of trolling motors
and would they recommend them?? I'm thinking of using the RT80EM mounted to a tiller attached to my Bank Dory. 2. Would there be a problem if I attached the unit upsidedown so as to limit the amount of draft needed to get the motor in the water. The manual says the cavitation plate needs to be 13" under the water for the engine to work. I'm thinking of attaching it to a wooden cavitation plate built into the tiller but attach it on the bottom of the plate so as to lessen the draft required to get the props in the water. The comapny sent me an email reply saying they only recommend instalation as per the instructions. Anyone see a problem with what I'm thinking of doing??????? |
