[QUOTE="18th hole, post: 371394, member: 12164"] Boat is a 15' aluminum. I fish alone 95% of the time on a pedestal mounted seat on the bow of the boat. Saltwater creeks & back waters. Sick & tired & frankly too old to keep anchoring, moving etc. I am going to buy a bow mounted trolling motor, a Minn Kota. My initial thought was to simply get a tiller model, control it as I move slowly along etc. Now I moving toward a co pilot type model because it would seem awkward to keep having to reach over to control the track. I don't really think I need the I-pilot capability but if it would make my experience easier I'd be completely open to that option. My question to anybody who uses any one of these setups is what would be ideal setup (foot pedal, hand held co pilot, etc) for a 1 man crew. I'd appreciate any & all advice. (I know it won't help me catch fish, they seem to be allergic to me) I'd just like the experience to be a little more enjoyable & less work. [/QUOTE]
