Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 12, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 12, 2019 I saw a guy drive his onto the trailer with the trolling motor down the other day. I was hollering but he didn’t hear me Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 14, 2019 Super User Posted January 14, 2019 Yep, left the trolling motor down and took off about five years ago. Got soaked. One heck of a surprise. Learned lesson and it doesn't happen any more. Quote

Here’s one for ya: I was pulling my buddy on an innetube and he starts hollering “shut it down!” So I did.......... forgot to pull the anchor up.......... it was surfing back there about halfway to him Quote
