Tinny's and Trolling Motors

[muskymike]

Alright, so I am seriously considering a Bow Mount Trolling Motor for the 14' Aluminum. I have seen some pics on here of guys with them on but it looks like the front seat is usually taken out or made into a platform.

 

Now I dont really wanna screw around and take out the front seat, so I think the Platform is the way to go if need be. I can fashion something up if i need.

 

As for my question, For those of you that have them or used to have them on a tinny, how exactly was it installed on the bow. I have 2 Lund WC 14's that are in pretty good condition still and would rather not mess with the bow piece (some screws are fine).

 

So I am calling out to all, can you guys post some pics and throw some ideas out?

 

Thanks all,

 

Mike

I just did the job you are looking for. Check out this thread...hope it gives you some ideas. It worked like a charm for me and it cost minimal cash.

Thats exactly what I am looking for Cliff. Thanks. Thats perfect. I wonder if anyone else has done this now..

 

Yours looks great though. Do you notice the additional weight of the battery?

Noticed a little extra weight, but didn't really affect the top end speed at all. Still got up on a plane just fine. I'm running an 18hp merc 2 stroke.
