What would you expect to pay for a used trolling motor that is in good working condition?

Sorry but you need to be a little more specific. Right now the answer could be $5 to $1000! What are looking for?
Bow Mount or Transom?
What kind of thrust rating?
12v or 24v or even 36v?
Maximizer circuity or none?
Universal Sonar or none?
See what I mean.

Now were getting somewhere. With a 60" shaft, sounds like a bow mount. So it depends on the year of the motor and condition. If less than 3 years old and in good to excellent shape, then 50% sounds good. If older, I would be offering less money. Reason being, trolling motors are fairly large ticket items and occasionaly Cabelas sends out coupons for 20% off purchases of $150 or more. Discontinued models are often discounted 25% off or more. And these are brand new items with warranties.
But thats just me - curious what others think.

You'll have a hard time finding one at half price. the bow mount trolling motors are alot harder to find used cause most people dont get rid of them unless upgrading. I got a 40 lb thrust bow mount for $150 thats about 10-15years old and I had to watch craigslist for over a month to find that deal. Keep an eye out and you may get lucky though.
