🚤 Another Family Boats service completed!

Custom trolling motor installation with a purpose-built bracket. 🔧

This particular rig was fitted with a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor, powered by a 24V lithium battery, a seriously tidy setup ready to hit the water! 🎣⚡

If you have a Buccaneer 605, 635 or 685, this is definitely something worth considering!

If you’re thinking about adding a trolling motor to your boat, get in touch with the team at Family Boats.
