trolling motor

[jasonballard]

I need information about these cheaper transom mount trolling motors; use minn kota endura 30 for example. Is it possible to change the position of the tiller handle to face the same way as the propeller is faced (or change the propeller to face the same as the tiller handle)? I want to buy one because they are cheap but I need to use it on the front of my boat, not the transom.

I know for sure that you can do that to some of the MotorGuide models (cause I did it )... Minkota, Im not sure...

Re: trolling motor

I have a MinnKota Riptide 55 transom mount. Most of my fishing is done stern to the wind so I wanted to have the forward position pull the boat backwards. I loosened the screws holding the control head onto the shaft and rotated it 180°. Worked fine for me.
