trolling,July 1, 2008
By 4482from Veneta, OR
"THIS WAS A RISK,I HAD SOLD MY 8 HORSE KICKER TO BUY THIS MOTOR.I AM VERY PLEASED WITH IT , MY BOAT IS 17/1/2FT ALM. SEA NYMPH.WHAT IS REAL GREAT IS THE WAY YOU HAVE CONTROL OF SPEED , AND ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE WHEN YOU GET HOOKED ON A STUMP OR SOMETHING, WITH MY GAS MOTOR YOU HAD TO RUN BACK PUT IN REV. THEN SPEED IT UP, BYE THEN YOU LOST ALL YOUR GEAR.MY WIFE IS SO PLEASED , NO MORE SMOKE OR NOISE,JUST PEASE AND QUITE."

thinking about it?,August 27, 2007
By JimmyRayfrom Ohio -
"Added to my Merc 115 4-stroke, 19 foot Lund #1) adds weight to motor, increases turning pressure (noticebaly) at lower RPM's when running merc at low rpm's. #2) excellent forward thrust,,, reverse can cavitate a little #3) recommend hyd or power steering on larger 4 strokes - i am adding hyd next week. #4) need to train yourself for the trim points on trim indicator, if trim is off they will drag and through up a mist. other than that, wow -- almost knocks the person in the back of the platform, need to watch just how much juice you give them. 24 volt system ran ALL day with power to spare, had a 3 bank charger installed also. i am using on long trolling runs and shorelines with the steering wheel for adjustments made casting and maintaining fairly easy. ran unit for 4+ hours at 3.6 knots trolling for muskies with a noise level of zero!! and still have power left."

Minkota 160,March 27, 2007
By Duane1948from Weyburn, Saskatchewan..Canada
"I put the mk160 on a 22 ft Sylvan, love the response from the twin motors and using the steering wheel makes it so easy to manouver . The spray from the motors works as a guide for me as when the spray stops when I am planing the boat, the boat angle and plane are about perfect . I can troll all day and more on a single charge (using dry cell batteries) and dont have to put up with the fumes from a gas trolling motor like I did in the past. I wished they had made this model sooner.. Thanks again"

i/o mount poor,March 7, 2007
By gunbunny316from vallejo,ca
"the motor does not move out of the water as indicated on all i/o,modification may have to be made to add more hight to allow correct distance. you should call the mini kota dealer first with your boat specs and i/o too see if it will work. On plane my boat does not allow trolling motor to get out of the water which causes extra water spay and rough steering. The mini kota dealer says to bring the drive up until motor is out of water, which causes boat to drag and not get on plane. The motor does work great and runs at least 8hrs @ 1.5mph non-stop with a total 30% charge left on battery."

engine mount trolling motor,November 21, 2006
By Silkyfrom Fitzgerald, Georgia
"I would recommend this trolling motor to anyone, its easy to mount. And i have used it a lot, its convient to use from the helm, and also has hand controls. But the best part i like about it is being able to control the boat from the helm from my center console, sterring wheel. It don't get anybetter then this as far as i'm concerned."
