Need a favor...

Hey Everyone,

I need a favor.  I have talked with Rich about using my boat at the Jack and Jill tourny.  Everything's a go except for the trolling motor issue.  I have a Motorguide which really requires a great deal of force to push the pedal to steer the motor.  If anyone has a spare Minn Kota or tiller trolling motor I could mount it on the boat and make it more conducive for Rich to steer.  Worst case scenerio is that we rig a way to use mine but I hope someone has a spare lying around that we could borrow for the week.

Thanks  Doug

Doug I spoke with Larry about him getting with another member that has one. I have a hand tiller one I use for  a jon boat. I would only hope the shaft is long enough to get in the water for enough. We will get it figured out for him.

Rich,

I think Dave Jarrel might have an extra trolling motor.

After some thought, I think it will work attached to the side of my boat.  What it think would help is if anyone has one of those offset small poles for a pedastal seat.  I think I can changed the tiller to work at a 90 degree angle.

Grubber, thanks I really appreciate it.  Can you call me or give me your phone number.  I would like to get everything squared away so that I can bring the boat to the meeting and transfer it to Rich.  Rich give me a call and we can set up a time to go over the details.

Motor Guide delivered to House of Booth, so should be good to go. Not sure if Doug's boat has the twist-lock plug in, Gator Mount and 12/24 system, but if it does, it should be plug 'n play. If it doesn't have a Gator Mount, it won't work.

What happened to Rich's SkeetR?
C&R, Steve
