    Default Graph and Trolling Motor options

    I bought my boat with nothing on it and now I'm regretting that.

    What are some recommendations for a middle of the road bow mount trolling motor and a middle of the road graph?

    How big is your boat?



    I would be looking at an Elite 7 TI or and Elite 9 Ti.

    Electric motor should be enough to pull your boat easily. I have owned both Minn Kota and Motor Guides. They both are good.

    Lowrance elite series has been a good unit for me that I would recommend here.

    As far as trolling motor, it should be something Minn Kota. I second what southern wake says with the elite series, which are the hook series now

    This is the exact setup I have. My powerdrive had he copilot accessory as well. I have a transducer on the rear, as well as one in the trolling motor.

    455 khz on the downscan. The 800 khs setting gives a clearly picture but the cone is not as wide.
