Re: Anyone use a transom mount TM on a 17+ foot boat?
I have a 17ft Specrum bass boat with a 70lb TM on the bow. Since I sometimes fish lakes that allow TMs only I also have a 55lb motor for the transom. This does 2 things for me. It gives me a little more speed but mostly I use it to get the boat back on the trailer. It is very hard to maneuver the boat with the 55, especially if there is a little wind.
