I ordered a new Motorguide 105lb. thrust 45" shaft from tackle warehouse on Black Friday. Still haven't got it. Motorguide keeps pushing the arrival date further back. I need to get my new trolling motor here soon so I can install before my Jan 30th tourney. I don't want to put my old motor back on, then take it off to put on the new again.
The question: Has anyone put a 50" shaft on a bass boat. This is the only one tackle warehouse has in stock. I would go elsewhere, but I'm saving $200 bucks!!!My current motor has worked great with a 42" shaft, except for Izzy on a super windy day. I'm just wondering if there are any disadvantages!!!! Trolling motor doctor said it was a pain because you have to raise the motor each time so the motor doesn't hang over the mount???
Thanks in advance!!!
