He doesn't have one so nobody else can either and if you do then you don't know how to fish and can't drive a boat.

Is it for trolling? The boat has a trolling motor mounted on the front also. All I keep thinking, is someone whatched to much Wiley Coyote growing up.

Yes, for trolling. For when you want to go faster than the stick troll can go, but running the big motor will spook the fish.

Trim and troll tabs. I had a pair on my action craft when i got it. I took them off and installed a bow mount trolling motor. I still have the setup if you are looking for some

Have you had any problems with yours? I have some on my boat I got. Made from Florida, they would use it fishing flats. I think it has a remote, which I don't have, that operates it. I've seen a video where someone who looked like a guide was on a poling platform and spun the boat around with them. I hear they have lots of problems and make a lot of noise.
