I need some advice from folks with
experience with these motors on pontoons.



Don't spend the money too soon = Larry's advice . For several seasons I
traveled with the extra crap required to avoid a little, healthy, rowing ...
remember you have to have a heavy battery(ies) and good way to charge it on
top of the motor, itself ... and don't forget how important space is in
full -time RV life ... pontoon+motor+batteries+charger = lots of storage
needed. I found that I seldom used the motor, got ZERO fishing advantage
( i.e. I ain't going to really troll with a fly rod, it was only to avoid
rowing, which is good for me and will help keep me out fishing years longer
;-), and actually enjoyed the relaxing rowing ( often less total work than
hauling a heavy battery/ motor to/from the water ) My MinnKota has
stayed in Ca for many years during my summer trips and has never been
missed.
