canuckjack Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I'm heading down to Bass Pro in Syracuse this weekend, the Mrs wanted a weekend away so I'm taking the chance to stock up for the spring Wondering if anyone has experience with the Bass Pro Prowler trolling motors. The Cabin fever flyer has a 50# bow mount prowler at what seems to be a great price, but I'm having a hard time finding any reviews on this unit. I'll be using it on a 16' tinnie, it probably won't be used too hard, I want it mostly just to steer the boat as I drift or for hugging the shoreline in calmer water. Any advice would be appreciated. On a side note, anyone getting or giving BP gift cards be sure to keep the receipt. I checked the balance online for a few that I got at Christmas and one shows $0 so I called the 1-800 number and they told me that the retailer didn't activate it properly and the only way I can get that done is to bring it back with the receipt. A receipt that of course no longer exists... Edited January 20, 2011 by canuckjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphaalpha Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I picked up one of the cheap 30# deals on sale last spring for my canoe. I used it about a dozen times and haven't had any problems with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
