i was wondering if anyone here has any experiance with them?

i want a trolling motor @ the back of my boat) but because of my boat size (sylvan 14' with a 9.9 evinrude) my transom will be verey crouded with a transom mounted motor. now i saw the navigator series wich mount on the cavitation plate of my outboard (and requires about 10" water above cavitation plate i have about 11.5") anyone experiance with the navigator series? or other thoughts?

thanks in advance

Ted,
I've installed a few Navigators on boats. The guys who get them swear by them and keep getting them, but I've never actually used one in the water.

thx joe

u know if the navigator series also work on smaller outboards +boats? most info i found on the net is the use of them on big (pontoon) boats not the muskie or pike boat 14-18' ouboards <30hp.
cabelas told me it would probally fit on my 9,9 but they were not real sure.

Ha ha, I didn't know you were that far away.
I'll call tomorrow for you and email or post. I'm 99% sure it will fit.

Demoman,
Bad news. It won't fit on a 9.9. I asked about making a plate so it would fit and he said that sometimes works, but the motor doesn't normally sit far enough into the water, so the prop isn't totally submerged.
