Minn Kota in 20mph chop

Everything that is outdoors and not hunting or shooting. Talk about fishing, 4wd, archery, camping, motorbike riding etc etc.

Minn Kota in 20mph chop

Post by Brad Y »

Whats left of my minn kota electric motor after launching the boat clean out of the air on my way to the first spot of this mornings tournament. Kind of put a dampener on the day....

The blokes that I overtook just before hand reckoned it would have made a wicked vid to watch a boat clear from the water prop spinning mid air :twisted:

Would have looked good, and the look on your face too.

You have sponsors mate? Get onto bastards and tell 'em it's their fault :lol:

Hehe no it would be nice to have minn kota as a sponsor but... then i would upgrade it a bit more than i have to now.

The little kota struggles to get me over 2 knots when its dead still and its on full power, i think the worst i could do to it then would be scratching it on a jetty. This happened at flat stick and watching cogs go everywhere at the time was a little upsetting to say the least.

But im going back to the kota again as they are the best out there by far IMO
