I used to steer my little transom mounted electric trolling that way. But if the wind blew much at all from the side. It would just go where it wanted to. Worked great in a very calm conditions though.
I just bought this motor yesterday. Mounted it and made the linkage yesterday. I took it out...
I have never ran a kicker trolling motor before. Here is a pic of what I have. Another question. Do you usually run the main motor down or up when trolling? I would think down as that would also aid in steering. The main motor kinda acting as a steering rudder in conjunction with the small...
Now a question I have..The motor is a short shaft. My 70 HP is a long shaft. Can I run the little short shaft 7.5 as a kicker/trolling motor or will I possibly create a cooling problem. The motor of course will never go on plane. Just 2 to 3MPH trolling is all..I think it will still pump water...
Well this stinks..I ordered a hood, they said they had it, paid for it. Then they called an Hour later and said they were mistaken and refunded me.. So disappointed..
Anyone have any ideas to look? Is there some kind of used parts locator like they have for car salvage? Thanks
Thanks..I have it running but I think the fuel pump is weak. I ordered one of those and a waterpump kit too. It seems to be fine right now. But will likely change it anyway since I do not know when it was done last and it is a simple job....Found a hood too..Or I hope it is the right one..They...
Well I will figure out more now that I have it in my possession. I just hope I did not get ripped off at 150.00 and I can find a hood and get it up and running..Thanks
Heres the motor I am looking for parts for..I need the hood..It was lost. I am ceratin it is no longer available from Honda..But hard to search when I do not even know the year. Thanks
This is getting frustrating. I have a older Honda BF50L I believe it to be a 5HP.. But evrytime I search for info or parts it takes to to 50HP stuff..Why the heck did they do something so stupid in model nomenclature..
