Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

Jobie, it will come out on occasion in the really rough stuff but it is rare And never fully comes out, just enough to gurgle. I spend a lot of time shallow but go deep to (not any good at it tough). The 52" will work just fine and keep from getting in the way when you work shallow.

Just an FYI but the 52 and 60 share the same mount. If you get the 60, you have to manually raise and lower it before you stow it if you want to use full depth. My partner bought the 60 but then had to take it in and get it cut off so it would fully rest on the mount when deployed at max depth. MinnKota needs to address this as the 60 inch is somewhat unusable with the current mount.

I have the 52" and wouldn't change a thing if I had to do it over. Great for rough off-shore fishing and not too much for fishing shallow. I did not buy the link but I also run Lowrance units. The features of the remote are cool but I haven't spent much time learning all the functions and use the foot control mostly. I don't know what I would do with out the Ultrex and anyone who gets one will love it!

I went 45, if it is too rough for it to stay in the water my tired old butt ain't gonna be out there anyway. And link, because as someone else said it was in stock and I do have Humminbirds. Spotlock is amazing.

Spotlock is amazing. If I had Hummingbirds I would probably spend the extra money for the link, what's another 4-500, I don't think I would use it much, as far as shaft length, I have a Triton 21 TRX and have never had a problem with the 45, also I can't stand the trolling motor head to be sticking way up on the bow when i get shallow. If I fished big lakes and open water I may change, but probably not.

I currently have a 45 fortrex on my 20 x2 but with the spot lock feature I will venture offshore in rougher stuff knowing I can stay put and fish easier.....that is what has me considering the 52

For those of you that already have one.
Did you go with link or non link version and for what reason?
Im wanting to order a 112/52 and not sure I would use the link very often.
Not hijacking your thread, but I saw your sig. are you affiliated with 6th sense lures? Man I love those those crush 50 and flat 75 squarebills! I gotta try the 250 and up ones next.

I'm going with the 45. Lance Vick runs a 45 and loves it. If it works for him it will work for me

112-45 on my 21 I Skeeter. 52 is just too long for me.
Everything on your bass boat is broken......You just don't know it yet.

U ain't going to step far enough off the bank to need one. Get a 52 or 60 if u do, they'll grab better in the wind. Link is a waste of time.
