Absurd. Trolling motors can be electric, or they can be gas outboards.
My Parker has an engine bracket with a built in mini bracket for an
outboard trolling motor. Many of the guys who troll seriously for
stripers in the Bay use outboards for trolling motors. Obviously, your
experiences are limited.


A very small minority of bay fisherman use a separate, small outboard for
trolling. I know two who have separate 'trolling outboards' mounted, but seldom,
if ever, use them for trolling.

A large majority of Puget Sound fishermen use a separate, small outboard
for trolling. If you ever come and take a tour of the Everett marina,
you'll see that every third small boat that isn't a sailboat has a
"kicker" for fishing.
