TOPIC: What to use for a small second motor
What to use for a small second motor 10 years 8 months ago #88695

On my 17 foot MFG. Has a Merc 1000 on it presently.
I was thinking it'd be nice to have something small to get home if there is a problem on the lake or sound. New electric trolling motor? Are there vintage electric trolling motors? Or look for a small gas 68 merc? |

good merc 3.9 6 7.5 or 9.8 60's are my choices especially on the sound and big lakes with adapter you can use you regular tank. batteries dont last long with electric trolling motors.

Makes sense. It'll look a lot better beside the 1000 too.
Now if I can just find a 9.8... |

I'm in York pa. 40 minutes south of Harrisburg.
Is there much difference between a 9.8 and a 6 when it comes to moving a 17 foot boat. About 1500 lb with everyone and gear. |
