WELCOME TENN.--MY 12/24 Johnson is finally wearing out so I'm the look out also. Those old Johnson trolling motors last for ever, mine is a 1994 also. I'm looking at a MG 71lb trust foot controlled, waiting till the BPS spring fishing show when they always go on sale.

Tennessee, Welcome aboard.
imo It would be time to make the upgrade. Since the fishin seems to be really slow or at a complete stop for most of us, I would rather replace it now, rather than later when the fishing is good. Our time on the water is already limited, so then to avoid anymore lost time... Glad Ya joined~woody |

welcome to the house of nuts and bait monkey fodder pal. take zookers advice on the removeable mount thingy,lol. and woody is right as well, replace it now so you can get used to it before the spring frenzy.

Welcome Tennesse. I agree withthe above guys it is a good time to upgrade.And as a rule of thumb when looking for a new trolling motor is is an excellent idea to get the biggest one you can afford. whatever that might be. I never heard anyone complain about a trolling motor doing more than they want it to.
