My trolling motor crapped out last year, and I was looking to get a new bow mount for this upcoming year. I found a slightly used 2001 Powerdrive 55 lb. thrust with a 48 inch shaft. Its going for 260 dollars, and it seems like a deal to me. I was just wondering what people with more experince with this type of stuff think. Also it is not the autopilot model.

Sure, it is a pretty good deal. A new one is usually over $300. I paid $350 in US for one I bought in Dryden a year ago.

Nate,
Its about time you purchased a new trolling motor! Now you don't have to borrow mine anymore.

Ah, another trolling motor question. Nate, is 48" gonna be long enough for your boat in rough conditions? That's the only thing I would be concerned with. Otherwise....go for it. You would like the AP though (my preference).
