One of the main boat services we provide for Fort Collins customers is motor installations for trolling motors. Mainly used for moving other boats, trolling boats use electric and gas powered outboard motors that are often found on fishing and pontoon boats. Unlike the outboard motor, the trolling boat is not going to be the main source of propulsion, as these motors are lifted from the water when the main engine is being used, eliminating drag and allowing your boat to glide smoothly through the water. Call Island Lake Marine & Sports in Fort Collins for all of your trolling motor needs!

Unlike trolling motors, outboard motors are solely responsible for propelling a boat through the water. These systems are made of a self contained unit that includes the engine, gearbox, and the propeller. The overall outboard motor system is usually located to the outside of your small boat, either at the bow or the stern of the boat. Like trolling motors, outboard motors allow you to move through the water easily but also enable you to steer the boat.
