Trolling motor as a backup motor...
Just in case...I bought a 50lb thrust Minn Kota transom mount trolling motor for backup. I know that I can probably ask someone on the lake to tow me back to the ramp if needed but I don't like to rely on anyone. I'm going to build a platform/storage on the starboard side of the engine box. The platform will extend under the helm seat and aft of the helm seat will have a hinged hatch to access the stored trolling motor. It should be about the same height at the coaming step. Hopefully I'll never have to use it. There were 3 times I could have used this last summer. It sure beats rowing!
