Foot control bow mount model wanted.I have leaned toward motorguide

because of there foot pedal design and the motor heads,only thing i do

not like about the freshwater series now is the gatormount,i prefer the older

#07 mounts.I have been intrigued by the new wireless ones in the 450.00

range but they are 48"  shaft models,has anyone had one of these cut

down to say a 42 " shaft length.Is there a risk of damaging the motor doing

this,a repair shop should be able to do this easily? :-/

I just got my boat, and really dig the MotorGuide Digital trolling motor.  

Minn Kota Maxxum for me. I beat the crap out of mine and they keep on going.

I personally wouldn't be cutting the shaft on my trolling motor. I

am sure it will void the warranty and possibly cause structural damage.
