Balancing your Trolling Motor for perfect Electronics readout

Check out something I figured out a while back. Make sure your trolling motor is level. If it isn't, get some TH Marine wedges to balance and offset the trolling motor. At times you could expect to see your bait on your Humminbird unit, but if you didn't it can be because your transducer isn't shooting directly below the bow.

For those asking about how it compare to on the water... I'm assuming he did this already... you need to first bring the level and some kind of spacers, coins work well, out with you on the water. Pick a spot on the boat and add coins under the level until it reads level. Then with the boat on the trailer in that same spot use the same amount of coins it took in step one, and crank the trailer up or down until you read level again. Now your boat sits as it does in the water... and now compare how level or not the trolling motor is.

Ok, it makes perfect sense now! I love the info that the G Man puts out. Not always a paid product commercial . Thanks Kevin for the explanation.

[@rhaselton]

With the boat sitting in the shop, how do know how your boat sits in the water? What your saying makes a lot of sense though.👍

Look at dem GUNS boy.

[@DavidSmith-Samluke36]

Great video GMan. Question; Did you need to buy longer screws to re-attach the Ultrex and if so how long was the screw?

[@snakeclips]

Not a boat pro but does your boat sit the same way on the trailer as it does in the water? Seems like the angle would change from trailer to water and even with how much weight you put in o e end of the boat or the other

Hell this is going to save me $200 on a plastic leveling wedge.

Does that take into account the weight of a man upfront fishing? Just curious.
