re: Trolling motor for 18 foot surface drive?

Thanks guys, that's what I figured. Told him about the garbage can idea, just fill it up and run it in that for a few minutes to flush. But just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

To arse whining about the surface drive, he will be using it to hunt also. Secondly, why the hell do you care that "10 boats that drove past me" are loud? You don't seem to whine about the guy that mows your yard or your neighbors yard, and they're running the same engine.
