Never used electric trolling motor. I bought this a couple of years ago and never used it. The prop is still in the plastic wrap and box that it came in. I was going to use it one summer then things did not develop and I have no reason to expect I will need to use it in the future so I am looking for someone who can enjoy it. I am willing to meet anyone seriously interested in it at a public parking lot in town for the exchange. Email if interested.
