Hello everyone!
New here and have an element e18 coming. Not my first boat but fit my needs and price range well.
I like to fish inland Michigan lakes and looking for trolling motor advice and other setups.
I tried searching but on phone for now and found limited info.
Dealer rep recommended 60inch shaft which I would think is very long. I don't want the motor head sticking 2 feet above the bow if it's not necessary.
I have very good fabrication skills so designing an aluminum front plate is not an issue.
I also have my eye on a humminbird helix 5 DI.
I'm also eventually looking for some instruments for the 115 mercury for temp and tach.
And any other little mods that make fishing better on this particular boat. I have a seat and swivel pedestal that will be going up front on the filler plates once I reinforce and join them.
Thanks for any info and tips! Enjoy your weekend!
