    Stock Windshield Height?

    Thanks, I've done that on several pictures of 18 foot StarCrafts. I have AutoCad, so I imported and scaled the images. . Yes, 17-18 inches is about it.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I know my boat is kinda a hack job, but it's safe and doesn't leak a drop, and catches fish. 😁 I like it ugly.😁

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I ended up selling this windshield because I couldn't get it to match up to the Alumaweld enclosure I got. I'm currently building my windshield frame out of wood.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I'm trying to mock up (retrofit) an Alumaweld top I got for $100. I want to find a balance between a reasonable windshield height and not so much that I get blown around by the wind. I'm building it to be easily removed because most my fishing I do with no windshield. It looks I'm going to...

    Stock Windshield Height?

    Perhaps another could check theirs ? Preferably an 18 footer. Just vertically straight up from the dash to the top of the windshield.

    Stock Windshield Height?

    I'm coming back around to this question again. If was to estimate, I'd guess 18 inches. I know... I should have measured mine while I still had it. Could someone measure their 18 foot StarCraft windshield height straight up vertically from the dash?

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    Good question. When I measured it with me on the bow it was about 29 inches. Then I got out and measured it with me on the dock and I got the 35 inches.

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    I took my boat to the river. It's 35 inches from the top of the bow surface to the water.

    Thanks! What made you choose the Terrova over the Powerdrive?

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    I know I should know, but I'm going to take my boat out today just to put it in the water to take a measurement to the water line at the bow. I may be surprised, but I'm thinking for semi rough water, I'm going to need 60 inches to keep the lower unit submerged. I'll post back.

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    I ask about the shaft length because my 18 foot Holiday sits up high out of the water.

    Bow Mount Trolling Motor on StarCraft

    I found this old thread, https://forums.iboats.com/threads/anyone-have-bow-mount-trolling-motor-on-16ss.650450/ . But I'd like to see more pictures of ones on the bow of a StarCraft. . Also, what size thrust with size boat do you have, and how's it been working for you? . Oh, and what length...

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    Yep, and when the current is too fast to troll forward, we back troll. 🙂

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    For the rivers I fish, you have to have a big main motor to get you to the fishing spot. Then you need something for trolling. The big motor can't get you slow enough to troll, and would burn way too much gas anyway. So most all NWest Salmon Fisherman have a main and a kicker. Just for safety...

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    Fantastic! Now I know what I want for our 35th wedding anniversary. 🙂

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    Have you used spotlock (anchor mode)? I'm thinking it would work the same. The kicker keeps the forward thrust for the river current, and the bow trolling motor would make up the difference to keep you in place. I've done it manually with just the kicker motor. Where I just maintain my location...

    What Thrust Size Trolling Motor?

    Yeah, and for me, fishing faster current rivers for Salmon, using the 9.9 I already own, actually allows me to buy a bow mount trolling motor with less needed thrust. Allowing me to stick with 12 volt.
