Trolling motor on 33 Canyon

[rocketguy88]

I'd like to get rid of my windlass/bow roller. My TM is thrubolted to he front deck to the left of the bow roller the TM swivels over the bow roller to rest alongside the stbd gunwale, so by removing the bow roller will allow the TM to come down about 4 inches in height which will greatly improve visibility. When I upgrade my 236 to a newer 236 (would stay with the same boat), i will NOT order a bow roller. That being said, always always always carry an anchor for backup. We just never use the anchor anymore.

I am strongly considering adding a trolling motor to my 2014 33 foot canyon. The boat lives in the Florida Keys and I fish the reef and deep drop. Does anyone have a trolling motor and I would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I have a 307 Freedom with a Minn Kota Riptide Instinct 100" shaft. 36 volt Lithium Battery. I have been out a half dozen times with it. The auto deploy is great especially when I am by myself. The battery will probably last for 2 full days of fishing. Easy to control with the remote. I don't know how well it will hold in heavy seas with high winds as I don't go out in that. I am so far very happy with it.

Love my Minn Kota Terrova TM 107" shaft on my Marlin 300. Total Game Changer as far as wreck hopping and chunking for tuna. No problem holding position even when he gets a little sporty.
I can't imagine going back to using my slow ass windless or floating my anchor every time I want to move!

I had the pleasure of fishing on a 30' Blackwatch a few times this season. It has a MK Instinct. We had some great wreck fishing and excellent holding on pots for mahi.
Now, I always joked about pride in my "16 lb spotlock", but this off-season, there will be some serious consideration of a Kraken(I have Garmin everything...) for my 265.
