Definitely was already sold on the under console drawers, for sure Are the stow and go rod tubes the same length as the bow rod locker, or do the port or starboard tubes end up being longer than the rod locker? thanks |

So the main takeaways from your post, to sum it up, are: -36v trolling motors are never useful on an 1800 series boat -a 24v electric trolling motor will double as a kicker In which circumstances would a gas powered kicker motor be beneficial for trolling over the electric trolling motor? For a larger boat? Thanks for the knowledge on not putting all my eggs in one basket. I will visit more than one dealer |

Can anyone explain the difference between these two trolling motors, specifically the US2 (universal sonar 2) designation?
Minn Kota Ulterra 80lbs/60"/24V/MSI iPilot Link - Bow Mount $3,654 Minn Kota Ulterra 80lbs/60"/24V/US2 iPilot - Bow Mount $2,813 Any of the electric trolling motors listed as options on the Lund boat build page either have side imaging/down imaging, or US2... this is confusing to me as I understood MSI or MDI to be fish finder technology. I do understand that your trolling motor can have an onboard transducer, but how is that negated by this US2 feature? Thanks |

I disagree with everything in that statement, lol I found my 36v moor invaluable on my 18 ft Lund. With a 36v you can have way more power and hve longer runtimes Vs the 24v counterpart. I've never been on big water and wished I had less power, never. A 24v or 36v for that matter can never double as a kicker. A kicker can get you back to port if you are miles out in bad conditions if your main fails. Also a bow mount doesn't have the power to troll against a big chop for any amount of time. The best system to use is to have a kicker and a bow mount trolling motor. Lock the kicker straight, use it for 75% thrust and use the bow mount to steer , providing the remaining 25% thrust. You'll be able to troll all day at any speed you need.

I have a 20ft tiller but I agree with everything here. When I went back to a tiller I Tried going without a kicker and only made it a couple trips until I put the kicker on. I went 36 volt and on rough days I’ve had it down pretty low, would have had to quit with 24 volt. Locking kicker straight and using trolling motor as autopilot/ speed control is amazing!
