Componentes OMC Trolling Motor

OMC Trolling Motor Components

The term trolling is used in recreational fishing to refer to the fishing method of trailing lines behind a moving boat in order for the bait to create lifelike motion to attract the attention of predator fish. This is done at a relatively slow speed, and low-power motors are well-suited for small boat trolling. Here in this parts category you will find OMC compatible components to maintain and repair your OMC trolling motor.

What is an OMC trolling motor?

An OMC is simply an older Evinrude or Johnson. OMC stands for Outboard Marine Corporation, a company which for many years manufactured the Evinrude and Johnson gas engine and trolling motor brands. In 2000, the Evinrude and Johnson brands were transferred from OMC to a company called Bombardier Recreational Products and continue to be manufactured and sold under the same brand names. For reference purposes, parts in this category that are compatible with older Evinrude and Johnson parts may be listed by OMC part number even if the part is new. Always verify that the part you are purchasing is compatible with the make, model, and year.

What kind of OMC parts are available in this category?

This category includes many OMC compatible electrical parts and mechanical parts that are essential to the operation of the trolling motor on your boat. These trolling motor parts include:

  • Trolling motor propellers.
  • Internal trolling motor parts.
  • Switches and circuit breakers.
  • Bushing packages.
  • Steering cables.
Do electrical motors require oil?

Electrical motors do not require oil in the way that gas-driven engines do, but they do require lubrication for the moving parts. Lubricating the bearings in the motor is essential in order to avoid excessive wear and damage to the parts. Lubrication should specifically be done for winterizing and de-winterizing a trolling motor.

What are some features of electric and gas trolling motors?

Gas engines have a lot of power and range. Due to electrical outlets being less common on docks and electric motors requiring long charging times, gas motors are still easier to refuel. Electricals are quieter and offer better control at lower speeds than gas engines, which some believe results in better catch rates. To combine the best of both worlds, some boat operators have both gas engines and electrical trolling motors on their boats. The gas engine is used for travel from boat launch to fishing spots quickly while the electrical trolling motor is used for trolling at the fishing spots.
