    Trolling motor question

    I seem to be having a hard time remembering to raise my trolling motor. Does any one have any tips to make this easier to remember.

    Once you have to buy a new one you'll start remembering.

    Once you take a few cold water baths from the spray from the motor being down you will start to remember pretty quick.

    When you have to dodge the pieces flying by your head, you will remember.
    Speed cost money. How fast ya wanna go? I have done so much for so long with so little. I can now do the impossible with nothing!

    Repetition is the best answer I think. I have done that a couple times and after getting showered learned to always double-check lol

    We've all forgotten a time or two. maybe epoxy a little 6" flag on the top. this way when you sit behind the wheel ready to go you'll see the little flag and not get up on plane before you realize its down.
