In many cases, walleye fishing boats have an option to add an auxiliary motor steering kit and components. They are easy to install and let you steer the secondary motor from the wheel instead of using the tiller. This is an option that makes boating more convenient and less worrisome, especially for new boat owners.
Some walleye fishing boats have jack plates added that give you a faster hole shot, a higher top end speed, and a better opportunity to get into and fish shallow waters than you would have been able to otherwise, which is great for both early spring and early winter walleye fishing. You may want to consider something like the Panther Jack Lift, which will actually tuck the lowest part of the engine under the boat to provide additional prop leverage during take off. After the boat is on plane, you can adjust the height of the engine in tandem with its trim function to get the maximum top end speed with stability, whether you are in rough or shallow water.
Having the right boat with the right options is key to being a successful angler, and with walleye fishing, boats should have powerful main motors with sufficient but small trolling motors that will help you maintain enough speed and power without costing too much in gas.
