I'm in process of rigging a new fishing boat (18', wgt approx 1400 lbs incl.
boat, motor gas and equipment) and want to put a bow-mounted trolling motor
on it. Any recommendations? Are the ones which are wireless controlled a
good buy? Minn-kota vs Motor Guide? 12v vs. 24v (I'm a casual fisherman
not out there everyday).

I've owned Minn-Kota transom mounted motors before and liked them, but have
no experience with bow-mounted motors.

Anything I should be particularly cautious of?

Thanks,

Ray
