We were not too far from the launching area, may be less than a half mile. We had a clamp in the boat that we used on the exhaust pipe as our manual says so. On top of that, we towed around 5mph.
Once my father removed the rope, I made sure boat starts (fraction of second).. no water out of the exhaust pipe..
My brother was laughing, you just winterize it.
Well, you know I posted this a long time ago when I had my Sportster and it quit on me in the middle of the Colorado River.. and then they opened the dam... it was horrid...
This is what im buying and I dont care if anyone laughs at me, im going to have it stored in either my storage area in the back or in the front:
Its just going to be there for emergency purposes only, if anything ever happens I could attach it anywhere, fast and I know it would only go 2 mph it doesnt matter. Of course this would not work if your battery completely dies, but 99% of the time I got stuck out in the water was because either something got stuck in my intake grate or driveshaft or whatever.
I just helped someone get towed back, he ran out of gas, he was by himself, no cell phone, he didnt have anything, he was nuts too, he almost jumped out too early without a life vest on? I told him are you kidding? you know accidents happen so sudden and fast.. I was like? wow.. so I helped him though... my 2cents!
Also I like the design of this troll motor, it looks like I can extend the connecting mechanism and set it up on the port side of the boat in the cup holder and the battery is right behind me..
