Re: Trolling Motor Dilema

A lot of folks here mount theirs on the bow. The watersheds here tend to be windy so they use a trolling motor on the front and back. Make a large "L" bracket wide enough to fit across the point of the bow (6 to 8" wide) and sturdy enough to handle the pressure. A piece of angle iron could work. mount it with one side to the front and secure a 2X4" or 2X8" piece of treated lumber to the bracket. In a sense, making a "mini stearn" on the bow of the boat. The wood will give you the thickness so you can mount your motor. If you need some drawings, PM or email me and I will be happy to draw something up and send it to you.
