Hi all, my dad is elderly, probably won't be able to go fishing anymore after this summer as he's getting feeble and his mobility is limited.

He has a Party Barge 20DLX pontoon. He wants to go fishing so bad off this pontoon, but it has no electronics and no trolling motor. Spending a thousand dollars in retractable trolling motors, extra batteries, chargers, depth finders, etc. is not an option because of the situation.

I want to add a clamp on style troller to the front deck that can be removed (maybe used a couple of times). I have found the longest shaft clamp on style trolling motor is about 42" long.

With the TM as low as it will go, will this work as a temporary trolling motor?

thanks
