| If you have a bass boat I would say fourt things are a must; 1. Hot Foot, 2. Turn signal style trip switch on the steering column, 3. Hydraulic steering and. 4 Jackplate. 1., 2. & 3 are for safety.
With a hot foot, if you were ever bounced out of your seat even temporarily your boat would instantly be going idle rather then 65MPH straight toward another boat or shore where it is essentially a missle.
With turn signal style trim you would always have both hands on the wheel which is important in rough water or at high speed.
I have fished min in snow and rain in the 20's and not had mine freeze up yet. Mine is set back pretty far and protected by the console. I don't have too much problems getting my foot on it with Goretex Red Head boots but its not a good fit with duck boots. You can always find a way to get your toe on it if need be by resting your foot on the floor at a lazy angle. | |
