I am kind of late getting in on this post but in case you are still deciding on what to do I can offer some info since I have both a Kracken and an autopilot on my 2022 Freedom 235. Prior to getting my Kraken, I was using the AP and the Helm Master to fish. That meant that I usually had my...

This took a little longer than I had hoped but here are a few pictures of my installation.

Yes, I did install it and have used it on a few trips this spring. Unfortunately, I have not taken any pictures of the installation yet but I will try to take some tomorrow. It does a great job and the 90 inch shaft is necessary, in my opinion. I went with using the sea swivel mount and...

They do however appear to be the most expensive batteries by a large margin.

Looking at purchasing a Garmin Kraken trolling motor for my freedom 235. It has the 90 inch shaft and a 100# thrust and is a 36 V motor.. Any helpful information on lithium batteries that would be best or worst (for that matter) would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for your information and the pictures. Looking at a Garmin Kracken 36 volt with a 90 inch shaft. Thanks again.

What motor brand did you install. Especially would like to know the length of the shaft and the voltage.

Has anyone mounted an electric trolling motor on a 235? If so, where did you install it and where did you install the batteries?

Anchor Point, I am sorry that I did not get on this thread sooner but was out of town for a while and just saw it. I have a 2023 GW Freedom 235 with the full mobility package on a Yamaha 300 HP motor. I have fished mostly inshore in the Chesapeake Bay so far but hope to get out in the Atlantic...

Does not look like you got many answers to your questions. I have Helmmaster with the joystick on my Freedom 235. If the engine is in neutral and you move the joystick forward the motor will go out of neutral and the boat will move forward. If you move it back the boat will go backward. If...

As the owner of a Freedom 235 with Helmmaster ex and the joystick I consider it a welcome addition to the boat. I bought the 2022 Freedom 235 new and have used it in the Chesapeake Bay for 2 summers now and have almost 300 hours on the engine to date. I have to say that the fishing hold is not...

Yes, what a great party we had also. The grandkids, kids, and neighbors all came over to crawl around the boat and see what it was like. What a great time.

Just took ownership of my new Grady White Freedom 235 from Taylor Marine in Milford. It will be based out of Tome's Landing Marina in Port Deposit but traveling around the bay looking for great places to fish. Looking forward to a GREAT summer. By the way, I did take the forum's suggestion...

After an 11 month wait, I have my 2022 Grady White Freedom 235. She is a beauty and runs better than any other boat I have ever had. So happy to have her to get ready for fishing and exploring on the Chesapeake.

Thanks so much for the information! Sounds like you have been busy with your new Grady. Have a great rest of the boating year. John
