Maverick Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I was thinking of getting a MotorGuide Pro Seroes bow mount trolling motor. They are on sale at bass pro and I was reading reviews that were saying the Gator Mount 360 doesn't hold the motor properly and the motor spins in the mount. Are these just a few isolated cases or are they that bad? If anybody has one, please chime in and tell me what you think of them. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addict Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 spend the extra dough and get a minnkota.ive heard alot of bad things about motorguide.most of the pro run minnkota,the way i see it if your gonna spend 500 why not 800 and get something thats gonna last.my friend basskickers runnin a 55lb minnkota maxum and its a sweet motor powerful and durable.after fishing with him all last year it sold me to get the 70lb maxum had her out fri and today just out for a boat ride man this motors got balls cant wait till bass season.

AzuluSpookd Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've got a motorguide 55lb wireless and I love it. Not complaints. Not 500 bucks, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah, I would like to spend more on it but on a student budget I can't really. I think I will look out for a used Minn Kota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addict Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 not tryin to knock motorguide but having owned a 30lb tiller motorguide and it burned out.i decided to try minkota this time they just seem to be constructed better.buy whatever u can afford on a student budget any motor is better than no motor remember boat control and covering water are key elements to success.
