Motorguide Great White
HI,
In various parts of this forum I've alluded to the 52 lb. Great White trolling motor on my 190 Bay as being insufficient to the task. I'm in the act of junking it in favor of either the 82 lb. 24V version, the 109 lb. (36 v.) or, in the best of all worlds, the new Lenco Drive 164 on the stern.
The 52 lb. will not move the boat against the tide and wind here in the Keys but works perfectly on calm days. I have the 50" version which comes up to my knee (I'm 6 feet tall). The 60" would be 10" higher but would also take up that much more space on the deck when not in use. Whichever way you go I strongly urge you to include a trolling motor stabilizer of some kind to hold the motor fast while traveling in rough water when the trolling motor is not in use. I installed a RAM mount and am very happy with it. Without it the rubber mounts on the Great White pulled right out of the deck when we hit a patch of rough water. Good luck with your purchase.
