Has anybody ever put a trolling motor on this model? Is it awkward since it is a deep V boat? I the shaft long, so long that it's a pain to stowe? If someone had picture to post too :)

I fish on a 271 frequently and we have no problem trolling for salmon or halibut or bluefin with the main engines (usually 1 at a time). He has twin 300s.

I'm guessing the electric motor is to hold you in place by oil rigs or something?
