[QUOTE="RiverLife, post: 414356, member: 18879"] Not sure how to explain it any better. Transom mounts struggle to get the boat going. Kind of like riding a bike really slowly. Boat wobbles back and fourth and accuracy suffers. That is why I said they were inefficient. When you take off you are moving the head back and fourth compensating for the movement until some speed is gained. Not the best setup although it works. Bow mounts pull the boat with ease from a dead stop to full power putting the boat right where you want to go. Accuracy is spot on and they work very well. Draw back is they are more money and not all boats have a place to mount them. It can also be a pain jumping bench seats in a Jon boat going from your outboard to the trolling motor up front.
