I have the trolling motor in the front…so much easier to steer the bass raider as it gets pushed around easily with any type of wind. Interns of putting in on the shore…just throw it in reverse Glad to see guys with real boats even buying a bass raider…shows the real love of just being out on the water in different ways.
Good motor, i have mine in front. Turning the head is no problem. We have a lot of cypress knuckles in our ponds so up front works good to keep from hitting them. Plus my wife gets to keep fishing 😆
Great video!!! Like the idea of the trolling motor being on the rear. Like you said easier for you to get in & out. That fish finder looks neat for the Pelican. I like it!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing the great accessories that will certainly make things better to enjoy your fishing adventures. You are the man! #TackleJunky81 rocks!!!
I have same boat. Trolling motor up front 2.6 Coleman motor in back. And get a real depth finder lol. I have a hummingbird helix 5. Wanted a Dakota lithium but they messed me around for two weeks.got the tracker lithium from bass pro. Great boat
Looking to get one of these plastic boats in the 8ft variant. I’m just going to set a small back board to sit on and make a larger front deck so I can stand and fish. I feel like these boats just need some type of flooring and a deck to walk on having a seat I feel like would be harder for steering when trying to get place to place
Good Video. I would recommend some type of floor. The floor as is will hurt your feet after about 20 minutes. I like that fish finder. Might have to try that. Good luck with the PBR. Fish on!
I love checking out channels I've never seen before I watch them if I love them I hit the like button and subscribe I will do that fore your channel now looking foward to seeing more videos love to you and yours frome paul in p.a
Great info on the batteries particularly the Dakota Powerbox 10. Couldn't the battery be hooked up to the internal wiring to operate the fish finder up front?
Turning the head around is no big deal. I've been doing it to several of my transom mount motors for years. There is a saying about trolling motors, it's easier to pull a chain than to push it. Theory on trolling motors. I'll send you some pics of how I build a portable depth finder. Gives you the ability to up grade your portable depth finder. I'll send pics soon.
Yes rotating Minn kota is fine just always turn in one direction to make it go on front and turn opposite to put on back. If not the wires will twist in the shaft and could get damaged
Like the trolling motor up front, you will need to remember to bring in the arm so you don't snap it off when getting up to the bank. i do like the fish finder though, pretty neat.

Gotta have the trolling up front! You’ll see
Even with the small jon boats I've had in the past, I preferred the trolling motor in the rear, but we'll see how it goes. Appreciate you watching! 👊
Same I used to run up front but I have changed to the back. I do have my
Battery upfront though.

Appreciate you watching buddy! Hope all is well! 👊
Great tips! Would like to add, yes, you can spin the head around on the Minn Kota Trolling motor to use it as a bow mount trolling motor.
Right on and I appreciate you watching! 👊💪
Anchor ⚓️ and a paddle in case the trolling motor goes out. Hope you guys have a great time with the boat.
💯 Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊
Can’t wait to see you guys fishing in that thing 👍 like to hear what you think of it
You got it! 👊
I had trolling motor in back and switched it after one day. Didn’t like turning around to steer

Pretty cool, can't wait to see you fish with that setup...I imagine it will scoot along pretty good with a 55lbs thrust on such a small craft! cheers!
Yes sir! 1 fishing video up already! Hope all is well man! 👊

Yes, it can.
Did the trailer come with it? Thanks for covering this. Just the wife and I would be using it.
No. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊
Take the bolt out of the head and turn it around so you can be in front and batteries in back.
👊💪
Auto boat from tiny boat nation will turn that trolling motor into gps spot lock for 700$ game changer for the bass raider
👊💪
Have the Endura 55 on my 14ft Jon boat it will move it in the water. Great motor.
Right on! 👊
I have a 1989 Coleman crawdad . Pond hopper
Right on! 👊
How do you like the chirp? Thinking of rigging one just like this on my 8ft pond prowler
For what it is, I don't have any complaints.

That fish finder looks interesting. Curious to see it in action . Been toying with buying something for the kayak.
Like the trolling motor up front, you will need to remember to bring in the arm so you don't snap it off when getting up to the bank. i do like the fish finder though, pretty neat.
@@robertbroom3376 I’d keep it mounted more on the side so when I’m heading back it’s easy to lift out of the water
I'll make a video on it as well.
