mdrobe2 (7/7/2008)no problems with the troller mounted where it is. the boat came configured for that mounting so i had the motor in when i took delivery. that motor is the highest thrust Riptide you can buy and use a 12 volt system so it struggles against the current in the ICW. we sheared the pin on the prop and it was seized in the hole so we drilled it out and now we have a vibration.the battery is an Interstateand it stays on a trickle charger so the motor should be getting enough power. i don't use my motor to troll with though- i just use it to position the boat in stealth mode, then anchor and fish.

I noticed where you said your TM was the highest thrust available in a MK Riptide, but you said you were running off of a 12 volt system. I have a 101# thrust Riptide and it runs off of a 36 volt system. I am not bashing by any means but if you have that large of a motor anything less than 24 volts is gonna cause a definite problem.According what the manual said 24 volts will achieve approximatley half the power of 36 and any feedback voltage such as that from the charging system on the outboard, converters, or chargers such as you mentioned can ruin the circuit board. As I said, I am just trying to help, not insultanybodies intelligence.
