    Trolling Motors In Stock?

    I'm wanting to get my LiveScope installed on a new TM (replacing my 15 year old MotorGuide 75W) but it seems like nobody around me has any units in stock that would work on my Deep-V Alumacraft Navigator boat. Any board sponsors with available stock/prices ? Thanks !!

    Looking to replace my 15 year old MotorGuide 75W with an affordable TM that will let me install LiveScope on it and is able to follow a contour/edge/weedline. I've never had spot lock before so I'm not sold on needing it. Probably need a 60" shaft to use on my Deep-V boat. Hoping to stay under 2k. Hope that helps.

    If you are still looking for a motor, I am told that Lakeside Marine & Service in Illinois just got a bunch in. They were advertising on Facebook with free UPS shipping.

    Not all local stores will have accurate online availability.

    For example, I was looking for an Ulterra just a few weeks ago. Nothing online anywhere with what I wanted. (80 or 112, 60” shaft, MSI, Link).

    Local Scheels had two in stock, and one on display. But did not show any availability online.

    Fleet Farm near me had on in stock, but did not show anything available online.

    I've called around the area and everybody claims they're out of stock. That's why I thought I'd inquire about board sponsors. No responses from them yet.

    are you wanting another motorguide? you can get an Xi3 and add a wireless foot control , in stock for less then your price range
    may be a few other options, we have some stock but need to narrow down to a brand and style

    so 60" shaft? 24v?,

    or these are in stock also MINN KOTA TERROVA 80 TROLLING MOTOR W/I-PILOT & BLUETOOTH -- 24V-80LB-60"

    My goal is to get the best value in a TM that will work with my recently purchased EchoMap 93SV & Livescope units. Looking for a 1 time installation that will hopefully be my final upgrade to my boat. My initial thought was the Garmin Force would be the obvious TM to work with the Garmin units but at more than 3k it's hard to call that a value investment. Current TM is a 60" MotorGuide W75 so I'm looking at a comparable TM. Thanks for the replies.

    What kind of integration with your Garmin unit are you looking to achieve? If it's just sonar then any trolling motor with built in sonar will work. If you are looking for navigation functions, like course plotting, pretty sure you're limited to the Garmin trolling motor.

    Livescope can be mounted to any trolling motor.
