Does anyone have a bow mounted trolling motor on a 170CC, what lb thrust would you recommend. I have a 46lb transom mount now and would also like a bow mount. How shallow can the 170CC run, at speed and w/o power on a drift.

Cody,
I have a 2003 170CC that I have mounted a front fishing seat and a MotorGuide trolling motor. Check out the photos in the photo gallery under 170CC modifications. I got the seat mount from my Triumph dealer and bought the seat and post from Cabelas. I usually deal with some fairly strong currents where I fish so I went with a 71 lb thrust 24 volt motor. It's a great setup for what I do. Yesterday I had the boat in less than a foot of water (I had to lift the trolling motor up just to move the boat) with a full tank of gas and all of my fishing gear...main engine trimmed up out of the water and it was still floating. At full speed, the limiting factor isn't the boat, it's me. I just don't feel comfortable running without at least 3 feet of water under me. Just too many things to jump up and ruin a perfectly good fishing day. Once I ht the 3 foot level I back off to an idle and take it really slow!! Your area of fishing/boating may be different so adjust accordingly. I hope this helps.
