Transom Mount Trolling Motor

[MCTFisher9120]

My 8yr old Minn Kota 30lb Endura is very noisy and crapped out on me this past summer so I'm looking to pick up a new motor when they go on sale. Aside from getting a used 9.9 some time next spring I need a trolling motor too.

 

Any reviews on the Motor Guide Varimax trolling motors? Will get either a 40 or 45lb thrust most likely but they look pretty nice.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

MTBF

If you are looking for a trolling motor with variable speed I would suggest looking at the Minn Kota Traxxis motor. The handle extends as well as pivots, and is going to be a whole lot better in the weeds with the weedless wedge prop that it comes with. Battery life is awesome too especially with the Maximizer feature that is incorporated in the motor. Here is a link to the Traxxis motor......http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/trolling_motors/freshwater_transom_mount/traxxis.aspx
