In this video we install a new Rhodan 84" trolling motor in the 23' Seacraft center console and take it out to test it out. I give my unbias opinion of the Rhodan vs the Minn Kota on the first trip.
You can use a battery monitoring system like the Victron to show current, amps, watts, watt hours, etc, all the electrical parameters, on a dash mounted water resistant standard opening round instrument, or a larger optional display, or even better is Bluetooth it on your phone screen off an app, no reason for more screens.
It actually seems better to me but in all fairness the 23' potter hulls I have had were cabin models so you are farther up towards the bow when driving and not an apples to apples comparison. 85' shouldn't be a Tracker though that should be a CSY and they were built extremely well! I had a 85' 18' SF and that was a great boat!
@@poseidonmarine thanks man! The one I am looking at is actually a Septer, but I got a center console cap I been holiding on to. Sounds like I should pull the trigger on it!
@@diyoutdoors6675 The longer shaft is nice on the rougher days. All depends on what kind of conditions you want to fish in. 84" might be overkill but I can hold a spot in 4' seas.
