107LB thrust Motor Guide bow mount for.....


jwmiller33

Recommended Posts

My step dad has a 2001 Champion walleye boat that had a 107LB Motor Guide bow mount on it. He hasn't used the boat much and the trolling motor has got hardly any use at all. The trolling motor was brand new with boat in 2001. My step dad wasn't good with the foot petal at all and I told him about MinnKota's new I pilot with the gps and hand remote and he was all about that and bought that and put it on his boat. One of the few times he took the boat out this year, we were using the trolling motor for doing a controlled drift while lindy rigging and all of a sudden we lost some steering control of the motor. The cable that is in the foot petal that control steering came off the track somehow and that is why it doesn't work. The guy that does all the work on our boat didn't look at it but we told him what happened and he said you can sometimes get the cable back on track, or else you need a new cable. Not sure how much that costs but my step dad just bought the new MinnKota and gave me the Motor Guide to do whatever I wanted with. I don't really have a use for it because it is 36 volts and I have a little 16ft Lund and theres no way I would ever have 3 batteries in my boat.

The MotorGuide is 107Lbs Thrust and 36 volts. It is the "Tour Edition" and has hyper drive. Here are some pics of it

Like I said, I don't really have a use for it, so I'm wondering if anybody wants to trade for it. Things I would be interested in trading for are:

-work done on my 1978 35hp Johnson (had a leak in lower unit somewhere. had seals replaced this spring and lower unit oil was milky when i changed it a couple weeks ago. there is also a problem with the electric start)

-a 55lb (or somewhere around there) bowmount trolling motor. preferably 12volts

-a used (in good condition) depth finder/GPS for the boat

Also willing to listen to any other offers.

How long of shaft? I have a 2002 minnkota powerdrive 55lb 12volt. It's in decent shape. Works great. I may be interested but my boat is in storage until april

BUMP

motor is still available if anybody is interested. I am more or less interested in just getting rid of it, as I will be picking the boat up from storage soon and won't have room to store it in the garage. Anybody who is interested in a trade, let me know what you have to offer. I'm interested in anything from rod/reel combos, rod holders, a 40-55lb bow mount, gift certificates, planner boards or other trolling stuff, etc.

I also found 3 lazy Ike's and 5 old dare devils I would be willing to trade. They both work excellent for pike and such.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
